translation please?

So, I lied. I didn't take a lot of pictures last weekend at the park, because I forgot my camera.

So, to give you your weekly Dose of Drew, I will include an older picture that I have never posted because it was residing in the digital camera until just recently:

Puppylove

This is Drew and our greyhound, Simon. This is Drew's version of a hug - he tilts his head, squats slightly and dips down until his face is...juuuuust...baaarely...touching the hug target. There are no arms involved in his hugging - he wants to be able to make a quick getaway.

I have decided that our son is not attempting to speak English. Rather, he is speaking Ewokese.

Let me give you an example. This is a sentence I heard uttered by Drew this morning while he was pretending to talk on my cell phone:

"Eee kay dee! Blag play dee doh? Dee doh! Doh! Doh! (this may be an offshoot of Ewokese - it sounds rather Homer Simpson-esque) Eee kay dee! See dee dee bay. Dah bee bee day. (I sense a pattern here) No. No! (disagreeing with your imaginary phone friend - has to be a sign of increasing independence, right? not psychosis.) Bay. Eee. Sen day row? Bye bye!"

If anybody understands any part of this, feel free to clue me in. (I got the "bye-bye" part...thanks.)

I still contend that Drew is actually speaking the language of the Sims. Just wait till he has your cell phone and says "Hisss mahn nee na? Haaah NO!" and laughs...though I don't know what THAT means either...
