Ben has a made-up word: "afterday." It seems to mean "later this afternoon" or "after you get home from work" or "this evening."
One day I got pretty grumpy. I stubbed my toe on the staircase and it hurt really bad, then we got in the car to go to a birthday party and I realized my watch was 25 minutes slow. The car clock told me we were going to miss 25 minutes of the fun birthday party so I got even grumpier. Ben was quiet for a while and then he softly said something like, "Don't be mad, Mom. I'm trying to 'pologize." I quickly tried to reassure him nothing was his fault and he did not need to apologize and I would stop being grumpy. He hasn't really been that aware of our moods until now.
