Word Of The Week

Abbey's Word of the Week this week is...

Tunnel noun
Pronunciation: Tunny
This week has been all about the tunnels in the house. No, we're not building secret passages as part of our renovations! - I mean the tunnels Abbey was given as presents.
First, there was the tepee that Steve and I made (you can see that here). Abbey refers to that as her 'tunny'.
Then, my parents gave her a train set for her birthday - just a simple one that can be made into a figure-eight. But Nanna knew exactly what else our little girl needed, having watched her play with the trains at her house. A tunnel was donated from Nanna's toy collection to Abbey's - and she sits playing with it for hours on end ('Train tunny!').

  1. Oh so cute. I love how you're capturing her words. I should be doing the same with my 16mth old. Today I heard "fower" when we were walking past flowers...and yesterday, "FUITS!" for fruits. Before you know it they're telling you stories...!

  2. That is just gorgeous! I love that she sees tunnels everywhere now. Bebito is currently obsessed with bridges - going over and under them and now alert us when one is close by as we drive.
