oakenisms...

A very favorite old layout is this Oakenisms page. Oaken had a unique dialect and I wanted to remember his version of some popular words. He didn't really start talking until he was about 2 1/2 years old and then we had to figure out what it was that he was saying. I love remembering him at this age and am so glad I have this page. Here are the words in the layout: Isabel=beow, binky=weewee, light=yite, truck=tu, buggy=ba ee, outside & slide= yide, pepsi & pizza=pappy, airplane=ma may, juice=ju, chocolate=chaket, milk=miew, fishy=fissy, money=mi ee, & chloe=umm. Whenever Chloe would tell him to say her name, he would just say umm - like he knew he wasn't going to be close so he didn't risk it.
