Lala and LuLu

I can usually figure out the origin of Ryker's words. Sometimes it is a little harder because it could be either English or Spanish. Neither Marilu nor I can figure out where "lala" comes from. Do you know what that means? Shoes! Marilu thinks it mights comes from "bola" because his sneakers have balls on them. If you ask him to get his "shoes" or "zapatos" he understands, but his word? Lala!

Much to her disappointment, he has begun to call Marilu "LuLu." She wants him to call her "Tia" or "Madrina." I was looking at Allure magazine the other day and there was a picture of Eliza Dushku (star of Dollhouse and no, I didn't know who she was either). Ryker kept pointing to her and saying "LuLu! LuLu!"
