Welcome to a new type of post here at Writing Out Loud! I've written before (here) about encouraging my daughter, Abbey - now just shy of twenty-two months - to use her words instead of the more common toddler manner of communication (AKA the grunt).
I thought it would be fun to share with you her most often used word each week, because there is nothing a toddler does better than repetition or interesting use of their limited vocabulary.
So, without further ado, I bring you Abbey's Word of the Week...
Okay or OK adjective (informal)
Pronunciation: ah-day
Originating from a mother's over-use of the word where it is commonly used to express something being adequate or so-so. Used in this instance as an enthusiastic expression, eg. when one is nagging one's mother for something and said mother finally understands and repeats the request, one calms down and says casually, okay, as though one never really cared about it after all.

Love this! And honestly, a good reminder to me to watch each word I use since my boys often pick out some of MY most often used words as informal "word of the week" winners. Must make sure they ARE winning words ;)
I thought it was just Will who did that! lol
Great idea for a post. :D
That's so cute, and a great idea. My daughter is just a few months younger than Abbey; there are a couple of words that we hear from her often that we haven't figured out yet. Maybe we should be writing them down to help narrow possible definitions.
GREAT idea. This is very cute! xx
