I've always tried to jot down Maddie and Faith's expanding vocabulary so that I never forget how they used to refer to certain things at a young age. I've failed to do that lately with things that Faith has been saying for a while now, and I don't want to forget:
******
She has a family of monkeys that she loves to play with these days, and she refers to monkeys as "ooo ooo aaah aaah's." The dad monkey is "daddy ooo ooo aaah aahh," the mom monkey is "momma oooo oooo aaah aaah," and the baby monkey is "beeba show ooo oooo aaah aaah." It's a mouthful to say!
*******
When she and Maddie play hide-and-seek and Faith is in charge of counting, Faith goes "awa awa awa.. where Dee be?" For some reason, she counts by saying "awa, awa, awa, awa, etc" and the way she asks where somebody is is "where ____ be?" It's funny though with the counting, because if she wants a certain number of something, she'll ask in "awa's" : "awa show, Momma?" (as in, one more show?) If she wants a few more minutes to play, for example, she'll ask for "awa, awa" (as in 2 more minutes, please?). Ha!
******
She says "ess" for 'thank you,' so nobody ever knows that she is saying 'thank you' to them. They probably think she is not too polite, ha! She also says "eeee" for 'please.'
*****
Her most favorite color is "bluuuuee!" Her most favorite letter is 'O.' She LOVES singing the alphabet song, but doesn't say all of the letters correctly since some are hard for her to say still (F, R, L, X, W, etc).
*****
I'm notorious for adding "doo dah" to every song that I make up throughout the day, and now Beebster sings "doo dah" all the time: "doo dah dayyyyyy, doo dah dayy!!" is all you hear!
*****
When she's thirsty, the Beebster sticks out her tongue and points inside her mouth. She stands there with a smile like a little puppy. What's funny is that Nene always tells me that I used to "talk" through gestures for a lot of things too, so much so that they thought I was deaf at times;) Faith will pull up her shirt and rub her stomach saying "dis, owwww" when she is hungry! It's hilarious deciphering the Beebster.
*****
My favorite Beebster saying lately is, "this is WOW, Momma!" She says this for everything that makes her happy. She kept saying that over and over again when we went cherry picking last week, and at Hershey the week before that. But, she is just like Maddie in that the simplest things make her so happy and she says it for any time she is having a blast! In fact, at the moment she is taking a nap with her Oooo Oooo Aaaah Aaaah (monkey) and a Sesame Place brochure that she insisted on sleeping with since "this is wow!"
Oh, my little Beebster Blobster.
