Sawyer has quite the extensive vocabulary for a three year old. I’d say she comes by it honestly…her momma loves words and her daddy never stops talking, so there ya go!
We were talking about some of the funny word variations she’s been using lately, like favilous (fabulous) or dangerful (dangerous), and it made us think of the some of the amusing names she’s had for other things in the past.
Ever since she was a tiny tyke, a blanket has been referred to as a beat and a remote has been a motor. Lick chips are Doritos (because she used to like to just lick the cheesey stuff off before eating the rest) and a guh-jraffe is a giraffe, just pronounced with a hard g. She loves when she gets to use bandits (band aids) and mecimum (medicine). Green beans are bean beans, bacon is known as cracker and for a while, bananas were nummies. She calls ear phones helmets, diapers are sometimes di-dees and the chill museum is also known as the children’s museum. She loves to put her guns up and yell rack attack instead of Wreck ’em Tech, but hey, it’s close enough for me.
All of these cute little mispronunciations and nicknames brings our lives so much joy, just like her! I love that I can have such serious conversations with her and that I can have super silly ones, too. She’s one of my most beloved friends; one of my favorite people on the planet.
She’s just plain favilous!
So sweet. I wrote a post yesterday about the things the grandkids say, but it is too long, so I’ll have to break it up, haha! But from way back in the olden days, when my kids were little, there was one word we almost still cannot even say correctly because it stuck: Pan-a-cakes. “Can we have pan-a-cakes for breakfast, daddy?” Oh yes. *sniff
Awwww….love that!
I smiled through this entire post. My favorite from my 5 yr old is “Mom, can we have some munchalidas?” This girl has a thing for the spicy enchiladas. What a gift they are!
