The Max & Beck Lexicon

I realize this blog can and should chronicle as much as I have NOT included in the lovely baby books still sitting politely on my shelf. Reflecting my own obsession for words, I'm going to document bits of their inventive vocabulary or oft used phrases.

Vol.1.0
Mugger or Nugget: A bad guy or someone who really makes you mad.
JuJu: Something super big. Usually in context of a big bear hug. Also can be for a kiss and currently reserved for Mommy.
Xixi (shee-shee): Portuguese for pee. Often abbreviated "I have to go (sheesh)".
Coco (coh-coh): Portuguese for #2. Recently abbreviated to "I have to go (coke)".
Real Magic: Anything particularly special or extraordinary. A term used BROADLY at age 5.
