"Pop-a Tee" Mystery

As parents, I feel that Dan and I have done a pretty good job of understanding the wants and needs of Kailer's since he's been talking. But for the past 1.5 days we've been struggling to understand what it is that Kailer is trying to get across to us when he says, "Pop-a Tee." He's been saying it in many different context, so we haven't been able to associate it with anything in particular and for the most part he hasn't been frustrated that we weren't understanding him. So I kind of figured that he had learned a couple of new sounds and was just enjoying what it sounded like to him when he said them out loud.
So tonight, after returning a table we borrowed for our yard sale, we were all outside enjoying a summer evening when I said to Dan, "We should be enjoying a popsicle right now." The second I came out with them in my hands it was like a light switch went off in my head, "Pop-a Tee" meant POPSICLE!! Sure enough the second he saw them he was saying, "Pop-a Tee, Pop-a Tee." Needless to say, Kailer was quite happy that we finally figured it out!! :)
In addition to having popsicle breaks during these past few weeks when the weather has been quite hot, we've also been in the process of packing up our house and getting ready to leave our 1st home; it really is bitter-sweet. We've had so much going on in our lives this summer and less than a 2 days before I was scheduled to leave for my week long trip to WY we got a full-price, cash offer on our house and the guy wanted us out in 2 weeks!!! Needless to say, we countered for 3 weeks and thanks to my wonderful husband (who packed religiously while Kailer and I were in WY) we're going to be out in under three weeks. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone, it's a lot of pressure and lately I've felt like we're going in every direction but forward! But we're coming to the end of the packing and I'm looking forward to having a calmer life for awhile; if that's possible?

Kailer helping us pack??

Thank God for this $5 LeapFrog train I picked up at a yard sale a few weeks ago. It's provided Kailer with hours of entertainment so we could get some packing done.
