Emma is 3.5 years old today! Happy half birthday, my little big girl!
In the past few days I've been writing down some of Emma's funny words and phrases again, those cute ones you don't ever want to forget. She has always been extremely verbal, so while she had a ton of funny ones early on, at this point she has a pretty big vocabulary and good pronunciation. Which makes her Emma-isms all the more delightful! I usually have a hard time correcting her -- I will miss them when they go! Here are a few of the current ones (some are newish, some longstanding):
- macamonie cheese
- "ping around the rosie" (she actually gets this right now about 50% of the time)
- bedume (bedroom)
- jungleaya (jambalaya -- though often confused with "enchilada"!)
- band-aim (bandaid)
- opemeal (oatmeal)
- produme (problem)
Ah, and here are a few classic quotes I just dug up from a previous list. These are from last spring. Ha ha!
- "I hear the plant crickuping. He has wings! Plants have wings."
- "I can't believe you put this on my plate. I can't believe you want me to eat this! I just can't believe it!" (in reference to the tofu we were having for dinner)
- "Stop. I call the little green boy "Froggy Frog Frog" (pronunciating it correctly after just mastering the "f" sound -- before that he was "shroggy shrog shrog")
