"Pop pop" is a frequently used word in our house lately. In fact, I would say it was said at least 50 times today. Pop pop really means lollipop, but lollipop is too hard for a 17 month-old boy to say.
Landon would eat a lollipop several times a day if we allowed it. Throughout the day, he goes over to the cabinet where the lollipops are stored and he points, repeadetly saying, "pop pop, pop pop." Here is how a conversation went between Landon and I today: "Mama." "Yes, Landon." "Pop pop?" "No, Landon. You have already had two lollipops today. No more." "Ahhhhh. " (Landon gazes lovingly into my eyes and continues with...) "Mama." "Yes, Landon." "Pop Pop?" This conversation conintued through one or two more rounds until Landon realized he wasn't getting a lollipop. Then he threw his body on the floor, kicked his hands and legs and cried! I can only imagine what the tantrums will be like at age two when they are this intense already!
