Pew Ew

For awhile now I have made funny faces when changing stinky diapers to make Elijah laugh and help distract him from putting his hands in poop. I often hold my noise in mock imitation and exclaim “pew ew.” In August sometime he started mimicking my “pew ew” whenever he smelled something bad, only it came out as “p.o.” instead of “p.u.” The letter “o” is one of Elijah's favorites and the only one he can truly pick out in other words. He even calls circles “o's” sometimes. In a world where he is learning different letters and it simply seems as if I'm stringing a few of them together, “p.o” seems to make as much sense to him as “p.u.”
