Mynay
Could someone please tell me what this word means??
Suddenly Gus' vocabulary has gone down to one very special word, MYNAY.
Me: (pointing to a sheep) What is that?
Gus: Mynay
Me: What do you want for dinner?
Gus: Mynay
Me: Where's Papa?
Gus: Mynay
Person, place or thing? Adjective?
If I say, "That's a cow!", he'll say cow, and there are a few words that he'll still say of free will (like NO, NO NO NO NO NO NO NO), but this word... help!
Another word that is starting to have a replacement: Mama. Gus is starting to drop Mama in certain situations. Example: I'm talking to someone, Gus comes up and tugs on my shirt, yelling MOM! MOM!
I'm in the other room... MOM!
Are you suddenly 14, Gus?? I figured out really quickly where he got the yelling mom show. When my mom was here last, and she had her back to me, I yelled MOM a couple of times to get her attention (she had her hearing aid on, so I knew she'd hear me if I said it loud enough). Gus must have seen how effective it was!
Again, if anyone has a good explanation for MANAY... please share!

Come on, MOM, this is an obvious one. It is MONEY! After all, enough money can buy you a sheep, cow, food, etc. right? Kidding of course, I just remember how excited he was about the bank. Also, my son used to yell MOM from the other room because he wanted to know where I was. He didn't want anything special, just a radar on my presence. One of the sweetest things he used to do was yell, "Mom, I need you" emphasis on the NEED part. He was just about Gus's age when he did it and I miss it terribly now. Enjoy, Enjoy, and Enjoy! I know you do.
