Adam: Dec 05, 2009 Communication Skills

Since I've last posted I've been working on my communication skills. I have learned that four phrases that can go a long way. Let me give you some examples:

UH-OH: This word can be used in many references. First is the classic I have dropped something and I want you to pick it up. There is also the David is crying Uh-oh. I have also used uh-oh in the middle of my screaming fits "Waah. Waah. Uh-oh. Waah." to indicate I am not happy. If I want out of my carseat "Uh-oh." If I am thinking about doing something bad..."Uh-oh." If I am hungry and waiting in my high chair patiently for food..."Uh-oh."

NO-NO-NO: If I am in a silly mood I will shake my head at mommy and smile and say "No-no-no." If I am mad at mama I will shake my head and scream "No-no-no." If mommy has said no to something I will walk up to it and point at it and say "no-no-no."

UP: This is one of my favorites. If I want to be picked up "Up." When I am done eating "Up-up-up-up!" When I want out of my crib "Up! Up!" When I want to go outside "Up!"

NIGH NIGH: When I want to go to bed "Nigh. Nigh." When someone is leaving I tell them Nigh. Nigh. and blow kisses.

Who needs sentences when you have these four basic phrases. Throw in a few kisses and you are set!

Nigh-nigh.
