You make the "this is short for that" thing sound much cuter than it feels when S. does it. Of course, he usually demands that from now henceforth, we're expected to understand that "when I say X it really means Y" (the worst are the made-up hand signals!). He's learned that Mama gets cranky about that, so at bedtime, when I ask him when he wants me to check on him (he can choose a 5-15 minute interval) he says something like "one zero, t-e-n, ten" real fast.
