The things kids say (that we want to remember forever)

Skylar has always said things in a really cute way. I used to worry nonstop about her articulation but not so much anymore! At any rate, I just wanted to record some of my favorites from the mouths of my babes!

Skylar:

lem o laid = lemonade

hunky colmonino = Funky Cold Medina, yes, the 90's song by Tone Loc.. thanks Jim

valuma = vanilla

Are you kdding me??: completely animated with her hand up and palms facing the ceiling- Thanks Grandpa Jim

backlard as in, "mommy, I want to go play in the backlard" = backYard

Some of my favorites from the past (words she now says correctly) include; 'mon gingi which was "come on Gingi", Peedocciho which was Pinocchio and lelotard which was leotard!! So cute. I also love that she still confuses tense although I always repeat it back to her correctly so I know it won't be long until she self corrects. One of my favorites is when she adds an s to to the ends of words that are irregular plurals!

Jimmy:

dinks = drinks

pass = paci

blank = blankie

baby = his bunny and all other stuffed animals he sees!

footbawl = football

bbee = basketball

baaaaallllll = ball

mump = up

gee get = jacket

bouk = milk

wawa = water

I ink = I stink as in change my diaper now! It also comes with a fanning hand motion!

I uck = I'm stuck - this is a personal favorite. It is used a lot! in the car seat, in his booster seat, on my lap when I won't let him up, when he has climbed up onto something and can't get down, etc....

bink = bonk like when he has bumped his head... this is used a lot too unfortunately :(

I love the way he calls "mamma" or "dada, daddy" over and over from his crib in the morning and the way he calls Skylar "sissy" like that is her only name! He also cracks us up when he is upset.. he tells us, "no, no, nooooo" in this funny high-pitched whine. He is also very good at telling us he wants to go ow sigh which of course means outside.

I love these kids so much and listening to them master this crazy language is completely amazing! They learn new words everyday and fix their pronunciations over night. It is true that they are little sponges and I just hope that through talking with them about everything they will develop amazing vocabularies that will allow them to grow and learn anything they want to.
