what is this?
in canada, people call it a soother. and then they shorten it to something silly like soo-soo. but i have referred to it as a soother in rexburg and no one knew what i was talking about. in the states i have heard it called a pacifier, paci, and binky. but i feel silly saying pacifier in canada, even though that is a perfect name for it. it does 'pacify'. but, with that said, soother is a perfect name too because it 'soothes'.
it doesn't 'bink' though. at least i don't think it does. so i don't get where binky comes from, but sure..
then there is the term dummy.
dummy?!
oh my.
can't we all just agree on one normal name that i'm not embarrassed to use?
Q: why didn't the pirate go to the movie?
A: because it was rated ARRRR.
chets cousin chloe had a pirate birthday party tonight. she turned 3.
birthday parties in the leavitt family always seem to be a pretty big deal. lots of fun. the moms always make fancy cakes and plan fun party games. and the treat bags are unreal. i had never seen such elaborate treat bags until i started hanging around matt. but since only kids get treat bags, matt and i have always just had to sit back and admire them...until now! chet got his first treat bag today. (which means matt and i got our first treat bag!).
we managed to snap a picture of all the big girls in the leavitt family. that is not easy to do!
