So, I'm an English major (ya, I know synonym for nerd) and I heard a word the other day that I thought was an interesting word. The word is "minion". Go ahead, say it out loud, it's fun! I found an old definition for the word back from 1501 that I really like.
Minion: a favorite; a darling; a low dependant; one who pleases rather than benefits. Also, dainty, pleasing, favorite. Used without disparaging overtones.
And so, I have decided that Lincoln is my minion. I've been calling him his new nickname for a day now, and I like it. It fits.
Last night while I was giving my minion a bath, I was playing Peek-a-Boo with him over the edge of the tub. I would duck down, and then pop up and say "Peek-a-Boo" and Lincoln would laugh and laugh. Then all the sudden, Lincoln ducked down. At first I thought he'd lost interest but then he popped his head up and said "Aboo" and laughed. I couldn't get him to do it for me again though. But this morning Aaron had him on our bed and they were playing behind the covers. Lincoln did it again for Aaron. Only once. But we figured two different times counts as Lincoln knowing how to play Peek-a-Boo. It's fun to know that we taught him that.
