My grandson Sebastian is now 2 years 9 months old, and I want to share a fun story with you.
One of his great loves is ‘driving’ one of our pick-up trucks. As you can tell from the photo, his scrunched up face indicates the passion and sound effects he puts into it.
One of the things I love about Sebastian and pickup trucks is that for now he calls them ‘hiccup trucks.’ I want him to say it forever since it’s so amazingly cute.
A few weeks ago we’re hiking in Mendocino in the middle of the woods, I think I hear him make a real hiccup sound, and I ask him, “Did I hear a hiccup?”
He instantly stops, looks around carefully, and says, “I don’t see one.”
Cute with a capital C!!
I’ve had to capture his saying this amazing word because I know it won’t last long and he’ll soon be calling them by their proper name – pickup trucks – so I recorded him saying it.
I’d drive around with him, looking for pickup trucks and trying to get him to say it on my recorder. I was minimally successful. When I didn’t have the recorder, he repeated the magic word numerous times. Recording – I had to work hard to drag it out of him.
Here is a 30-second recording in which he says both ‘hiccup truck’ and his way of saying ‘walkie-talkie.’ Click the link to listen. Enjoy!
