On the lighter side...
Yesterday, my 2 year old DD surprised me with a new word. I asked her if she wanted ponytails and she said, "no. petishun". WHAT? Did she just say petition? I asked her again and clear as day she said, "I want a petition." Oooowkayy. Maybe all the animal rights things I read are rubbing off on her. That's my girl! Throughout the day I prompted her to say it over and over. Giggling each time. DH and I even played the part of the bubbling parents at our friends house today, having DD repeat petishun a few times for my friend and her cousin and her cousins boyfriend. (Am I actually one of those Moms that thinks her child is the cutest thing on the planet and everything she says and does should be loved by all? I guess so since I am posting this!) ~blush~
anywhoo...
We've learned sadly a few minutes ago that DD is not the prodigy activist we thought she was. Well, maybe she is, but her idea of a petition is not the same as mine. I asked her if she could show me a petition and she looked at me blankly. I thought, "Of course she can't show me one. She doesn't know how to write yet". Then, to my surprise, she darted off into the bathroom and came back with.... da da da daaaaaa.......
a smallish piece of toilet paper... AKA.... a tissue.
So the mystery had been solved, and no one is allowed to use the word "tissue" around DD until she outgrows this adorable word. Another good reason to have runny noses. Petishun.
Goodnight!

My friend's daughter use to say "chicken" instead of naked. It was so cute. When my friend had her second daughter, she would say "Z is chicken!" she outgrew it when she started school.
My DS keeps saying a word and I can't figure out what the heck it is! He says I want X (can't remember what the word is atm lol). He says it over and over. I asked him what color it is and he says brown, though he get's his colors mixed up regularly. I asked him to show me and he went to our suit cases (not unpacked yet) or he gets really frustrated and keeps repeating it over and over.
The most annoying part? The first time he said it I finally figure out what it was, after like 30 min. Then the second time I forgot what it was again! I ended up just trying to distract him, I felt so bad I couldn't figure out what he wanted!

Cute story!
I love the new words although it is hard sometimes, to figure out what they are. =)
