Word of the Week

Since Ernie has taken to language, I may start trying to do a special word of the week. Like Pee Wee Herman with less screaming. He honestly learns way more than one a week, but it comes from an assignment through toddler playtime. So I'll try to work on one new big one with him each week. This week's word comes complements of a trip to the underground acquarium when we went to visit the Chris and Cathie branches of the Hall clan in MN (we'll try to get some pics. up soon of that too). I jokingly told Ernie that the octopus he was looking at was a cephalopod. He took to the word in true mockingbird fashion and now says "Cephalopod!" when you ask him what an octopus is. If you don't know what it is, I suggest you look it up so that you are not schooled by a two-year-old next time you see him.
