Yes, what he says sounds very much like “caramel.” What he means, however, is “cup of milk.”

Yosef and I both thought “caramel”, too. Which means that he doesn’t consider “caramel” to be “food”. That’s a small victory.

This reminds me of when we’d be in the car and Bassie would say “Dina pooped!” and Baby Dina would say “I no poopy; I jus gashy.” I love that age when they’re totally communicative but their words still sound really funny.

I also love that Paul calls himself “PauPau”.

In related news, my little monkey said this to me today: “PauPau nowan foo. I won k-o-mel.” [Decode that if you can. I understood him perfectly.]

Unfortunately, the result was a firm “no” from daddy and five minutes of pouting from him. He wasn’t yet ready to express it, but I’m pretty sure this left him thinking “This whole language thing is overrated, anyway.”
