Just a quick note because I’ve been too busy, and I miss blogging! I had started two posts about last weekend, but haven’t had the time to finish either one – hopefully I will soon! It’s been really difficult to blog with a 17-month-old who only wants to climb on me and bang on my keyboard when I actually do have the time to sit down! So then my computer will reset, and that’s the end of that…
More later – I’m hoping! STAY WARM!!!
WHEW! I didn’t mean to take a weeklong blog hiatus, but due to the kids being on spring break, that’s what happened! We were SO busy, I haven’t really been in front of my computer… I hope this isn’t what summer break is going to be like! It was fun and all, but SO busy! During the week, we did have LOTS of fun, and we got to spend lots of family time together, which gave me time to put together the following translation list of Toddler Talk. Our youngest (until July, anyway!) is currently at one of the cutest ages there is: 17 months. She walks around (finally!) babbling about all kinds of stuff, and she answers almost every question with a definitive “no”. Sometimes she means it, sometimes she doesn’t. Here is a guide to help you communicate better with Disney or any 17 month old:
oove = move, you’re in MY way!
down = means up or down, just depends on where she is at the moment.
yum-yum-yum-yum = can sound like mom, mom, mom, mom – is usually used very loudly to “ask” for a food she wants.
no = self-explanatory. At this age, it’s used constantly.
DOP = STOP. Because she has 2 older sisters, this was one of her first words.
oovie = movie. Usually used to request a dvd in the car.
mama = actually means Grandma. She calls Mommy “Mom”.
gink = drink. I’m thirsty!
baa = bottle. I know, she should not be using these anymore… But it’s so hard to take them away when she loves them so much!
cookie? = give me a cookie or I will cry.
candy = see above. She learned this word around the Easter holiday.
cake you = thank you. She says this almost every time you give her something – it’s SO cute! I hope it doesn’t lead to her being spoiled…
ack = snack
ankey = blankie
mere = come here. She uses this to call the dogs, or she holds out her arms and says it when she wants to be picked up. A favorite sentence is “Mom mere.”
She says lots of things, and her vocabulary grows every day! These are just some of the cutest things right now… I love this age; the calm before the storm of the terrible two’s!
