wash-n-tum CD

Tom is spending a few days in Washington, DC for a middle school conference. A few months ago Matt also went to this conference, and I had read with great amusement Emma's attempts to say "Washington, DC."

So I was really curious what Nile would do with this mouthful. At first he was confused, but could repeat "wash-n-tum" pretty easily. But he got a little confused. He transposed the letters, said "Wash-n-tum CD" followed immediately by "Where's Daddy's CD?" Then, "Daddy's in A-B-C-D."

Then he spent all day saying "wash-n-tum" at totally random times. Of course, if you know Nile, he repeats things until you figure it out and correctly acknowledge him. So, imagine Nile repeating "wash-n-tum," (pause) "wash-n-tum," (pause) "WASH-N-TUM!"

"Yes, Nile, you're right. Daddy's in Washington, DC."
