Xander Week 111 – More entertaining sayings…
April 2, 2009
Every once in a while I like to make note of some of Xander’s more entertaining phrases before they decay into recesses of my memories.
As most of our family knows, Xander refers to SpongeBob as “Bobich”. I have no clue where this came from. If you ask him to say sponge, he can say sponge. If you ask him to say bob, he can say bob. If you ask him to say SpongeBob, he says Bobich.
Similarly, he calls Boo from Monster’s Inc. “Haas Gassie”. Again, we have no idea where he came up with this name. He can say Boo of course, and sometimes asks for the Boo doll we have by name, but when you ask him who that girl is on the movie or the doll on the couch, he’ll tell you Haas Gassie.
In the World According to Xander, a back-pack is really a pack-pack. A hood is really a hook. And no matter how many times we use the correct words, his words don’t seem to change (though secretly, I don’t really want them to – I think pack-pack and hook are much cuter than our grow up terms).
Recently Xander has decided that our friend Norm lives in the computer in our kitchen. If you ask him where Norm lives, he’ll point and say “In ‘Puter”. Specifically, Norm resides in the Clock Tower at Plymouth State University, as seen from the Webcam in the weather channel of myPlymouth.
This morning I got Xander dressed in the dark. When he first wakes up, he is overly sensitive about light. I think even a night light might send him into a fit of tears about it being too bright. At 5am, getting a weepy 2-year-old dressed in the pitch dark is a challenge. This morning, after Xander was up and dressed and working on a puzzle, Zach noticed that his pants were on backwards. When he asked Xander if Mommy had put his pants on backwards, he responded “She did put my pants on backwards. I need to go talk to her.” Apparently this mistake warranted a scolding from my two-year-old. I promised him that I would try not to put his pants on backwards regardless of our lighting situation in the future 
I love this! And him! So far beyond adorable. xoxo
“Pack-Pack” is my favorite…so funny! Hope you are all doing well!
Thought you’d appreciate hearing that in the Hain household “Bobich” is made of cheese! Josie’s favorite food is cheese right now and whenever she sees Spongebob, she points and says “cheese!” I will forward you a few pictures that Maellyn sent this week.
