"wunth, tooth, threeth, fourth"
...counting as he threw stones in the bay at grammy's

*****


"mommy, my brain is leaking, SEE?"
...when asked why he kept clearing his throat.
(opens his mouth and points to the back of his little red throat)

"mommy, i am overloaded with dehydrate"
...in wilspeak means 'i am thirsty'

*****


"mommy, i will keep your spot warm for you"

as i disentangle myself from him at naptime
and he rolls over into the indention just vacated.
