The darndest

I know it’s pretty eye rolly when people do the “my kid says the cutest things!” type of post, but I haven’t done a real LG update in a long time and she is saying some gems I’d like to remember, so here we go. Feel free to ignore this post, unless you’re my mom.

Poose
It took me FORever to realize she was saying “pool”:

“Poooose! Pooooose!” she’d whine.

“What, you want my purse? Okay.”

“NO! Pooooose!” and then she’d run over and point to her blow-up pool.

“Oh, poooooL, got it.”

Poot
She calls poop “poot” and I’m just going to leave it at that.

Gabbies
Gabbies are strawberries, but last night I heard her add an ‘s’ to the beginning, so “gabbies” might be on their way out.

Kini
Zucchini. You’ve seen all our zucchini. She definitely knows that word.

ABCDs
She calls the song the ABCDs and sings, “A B C D mumble mumble mumble…now I know my ABCDs…”

Yeah, no you don’t.

HOT coffee!
No matter what’s in my mug, she points to it and says, “HOT coffee!”

And when the sun shines in her face in the car on the way to school, she says, “Hot, Mommy! Hot!”

MOMMY
“Ma” is out, but I still call myself Ma. I REFUSE TO LET GO.

Mungos
Flamingos are “mungos.” I repeat, FLAMINGOS ARE MUNGOS.

Thank you…THANK YOU MOMMY.
LG’s getting a little Miss Manners lately. She says thank you for anything I do for her and if I don’t respond with, “you’re welcome” immediately, I get an urgent, “THANK YOU MOMMY!”

Fook
I’ve mentioned this before; “fook” is fork and sometimes she says “fook” when there’s no fork around, but I’m sure it’s just because she’s thinking about eating.

“LG dew it” or “My turn”
These are interchangeable when LG wants to do it herself, thank you very much. I’m pretty positive “my turn” comes from school, although Chris and I do fight over the remote pretty often. “My turn, Chris! My turn!”

(Obviously kidding. There’s a reason we have two DVRs.)

In other random news, LG can put on her own shoes…

WHY SHE WANT TO LEAVE ME?

And bring me cocktails…

Best daughter ever? BEST DAUGHTER EVER.
