Duncan's ways with words. - Posted by the Mrs

Duncan has been talking up a storm.  He loves to learn new words and can be heard at times just rambling off random words and phrases together with enthusiasm.

Here are some of the funny things he's said lately for the record:

A clock goes: "Tic-Clock Tic Clock"

"Cha-Kow" instead of Ka-Chow
(Lightning McQueen)

We were thinking for a short time that Duncan had turned Swedish when these words were coming out:
Sweater was "Sway-ter"
Nose Wipe?..."Ose Mipe"

He used to enthusiastically shout "Amen" after the sacrament prayers.  It's true, you can ask anyone in Jim and Joanne's ward and they will agree.  Unfortunately we had to put an end to that but it was great hearing that excitement in his voice when it was his turn to chime in.

We have started a little tradition of taking a treat/otter pop out to the backyard after dinner while enjoying the perfect weather and sitting on our camping chairs.  During one of the earlier occasions of this family gathering, we were just sitting and eating then, out of the blue, Duncan held up his hand to me and said, "high five".
 I'm pretty sure he was conveying his support for our regular "sugar time" we had established.

One of Bobby's and my favorite movies to watch on Sundays is "Out of the Mouth of Babes".  It's that movie from the 70's where they are interviewing little kids and asking them questions about Jesus, the Church, etc.  If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
