   The words I saw on the blog are right on. I like Spoonami the best. Is there a word available for the battle over one toy that both kids need to play with at the same time?

   Is there a word for “I can’t wait until kindergarten starts.” That’s what my daughter is wishing for now. LOL Thanks for the contest.

   What a great idea for a book. How about when the kid finds that marker from the lot you swore was picked up and colors on his sister. Oh well what is wrong with a little color in the world. Thank you for the intro to the book and the giveaway.

   When my grandson was just learning to talk, there were a lot of letters he couldn’t pronounce (he has had to have speech therapy as a preschooler) So he would make up words for what he wanted…he couldn’t say milk so he would ask for “GO”…his parents had to learn that Go meant milk. He did this with several things until he got a better command of speech. The word would never have anything to do with what he was having it mean.

   My daughter has been in love with the Disney Cars movie for three years now. All this time I thought it was a bit odd that a girl loved this movie. The other day I said something about Lightning McQueen and she said NO MOM it is Lightning THE queen. Awwww it all makes sense now!

    I love this! Working with children with Autism, I find that many make up their own unique words. This would be great for them.

    I think there should be a word for when mama has terrible morning sickness and is potty training a child at the same time. It’s not a good thing!

    I can soooooo relate to THREEMAGEDDON. The bad thing is when the child finishes the count for you. Hahahahaha not a good thing at the time but funny as heck after you think about it. I would LOVE to share this book with my grown kiddos (one of which is now a father of four).

    Thanks so much!

    The kids would like a word that describes their face when I give them something that they do not like to eat…and have never even tried.

    Terrific book. I read his blog. This guy is a riot! When my two little granddaughters fight over a toy, I call it “push-pull toy episode”. I don’t know if that qualifies as a new “word”, but I know we’ve made up many since having kids and grand children. I just wish I wrote them all done:)

    There needs to be a word for when kids get up ridiculously early on Christmas morning and gang pounce on their parents to wake them up, because they can’t open the presents until Mom and Dad are aawake!

    Here’s a good one I just thought of that is totally my kids
    Inevitaspill – For those times you gave your kids something that you just felt in your gut that they would inevitably spill or drop but you ignored it and gave it to them anyway in hopes that you were just being paranoid.

    Last year, for her Language Arts class, my daughter had to write a dictionary with new entirely made up but needed words! She did a “growing up with siblings” dictionary, and it came out so cool! I’d love to show her this!

    As a toddler, if let alone for a few moments (like when I parent went to the bathroom) my daughter used to enjoy coating her body with anything sticky of gooey. She has been covered hear to toe in mud, mayonaise and peanut butter. And happy as a clam about it. (Until we hosed her off again.)

    I would be affriad to leave it on my coffee table during playdates.
    One of the other mommies would surely put it in their diaper bags…lol.

    A situation that I think deserves a word of its own is when your child will only eat food of a certain color.
