De da now! De da now!
I was at work today and Aleece called me to chat, just normal married couple chit-chat. About 5 min after we hung up the phone rang again and I noticed that callerid said it was my house again. I picked up the phone and started to give Aleece grief for some of the chit-chat we were talking about in the previous call, but it was not Aleece. “HI DE DA!” is what I heard. Leif was on the phone. Apparently after Aleece had hung up Leif kept bugging Aleece by saying “De Da now. De Da now.”, so Aleece called me at work and gave Leif the phone. I talked to Leif for about 3 min before Leif wanted me to get him an apple. I was able to get Leif’s permission to have Aleece give him one instead.
Oh, and “De Da” is how Leif says daddy. He can say mommy and momma just fine but for some reason he switches the syllables around on daddy to have it sound like de da. Man kids are funny.
