What's for Breakfast?
Amidst all the packing our breakfast routine has gotten a little off. Typically, Gabriel eats a banana and some dry cereal for breakfast, but lately it has been string cheese, or a breakfast bar. This morning when I got him out of his bed the first thing he said was "cheese", which actually comes out sounding like "cheese", so it's an easy one. When we got to the refrigerator he asked for "juice", which sounds similar to his word for "shoes" (it's sort of like "shuice"). Before I could close the door to the fridge, he started clicking his tongue and pointing. Fortunately for us both, I knew what that meant. You see, his word for yogurt is Click. I just really thought it was funny that he was able to tell me exactly what he wanted by clicking his tongue like some African language.
He got what he wanted for breakfast though, "cheese" and click.
Side Note: The move is going pretty well. We have been moving stuff in little by little since Saturday and are unpacking it as we get it there. Our goal is to have everything except the furniture in before Saturday so that Saturday morning we can just load the furniture and be done with it. I still have a lot to do before then though, so we'll see how well that plan works out. Thanks to some good friends at our church though, we have had some help with Gabriel, which makes packing a whole lot easier (since things are not coming out of the boxes faster than I can put them in.)

I wonder if the "click" has to do with the texture of the yogurt. Maybe there would be a stronger "click" for pudding or something like that. Does that make any sense?

I think it's so cute when they make up sounds or words for things and it seems to be totally out of nowhere. Kyrie calls milk "Gmmm," and I just recently made the connection that she's trying to mimic the gulping sound from drinking milk. That's too cute that Gabriel clicks his tongue for milk.

Oops, I meant to say clicks his tongue for yogurt.
