Lesson

January 1, 2009

Recently our son D acquired a new uncle - Oba Mama.

This evening D, climbing on top of a wooden chest and trying to get onto the window above it, wails: “Can’t climb!”

A and I look up from our books and chorus: “What did Oba Mama say?”

“CAN!” says D promptly.
He tries again, putting one leg on top of the window sill - and this time he succeeds.

  3. Little N calls him the same! Wonder why the extra ma. Is that how D started saying it or did he hear it from someone?

  7. I come from CAN-ada, so I guess we here in the Frozen North should know everything about a can-do attitude :-) The most important thing is the world D. is going to grow up in, and certainly needs lots of kids like him who CAN-a-do.
