Vivie's Vocab

Vivie's vocbulary is taking off! I thought I'd take a minute and give you some of her favorites, and some that just make me laugh.

Eat: self explanitory - and constant! She is a bottomless pit!

Cacker: term used to describe anything crunchy, and uttered approximately 105 times a day.

Apool, Kiwi: another phrase used frequently to express hunger - although and apple and kiwi is rarely what she actually wants.

Fuffy: her little soft lovey she got for Christmas

Foowip & Ewy: Philip and Emily - the two kiddos I keep a few days a week

Tya!: Tyla - her best buddy. This is exclaimed anytime we pull up to the church building, in front of Tyla's house, or if she's just feeling lonely and wishes she had a friend to play with.

Duder: Oddly enough, this is our dog Cowboy. My parents have a dog named Dudley (who is often called Duder). She refuses to call Cowboy by his given name.

Ny-Ny: I don't care that it's only 5:50 pm, I'm tired and I'm ready to go to bed.

Shoosa?: Can we please put my shoes on and get in the "cow" and go somewhere?

Powwy: potty, spoken sometimes before, sometimes after she has gone in her "bopers" (diaper)- she's showing a great deal of interest and we plan to give training a shot over spring break

Hup, peese: Help please. This is most often used when she has climbed into a chair and is standing up in it not sure how to get down.

I could go on and on, but I guess that's enough to give you a taste of the cuteness that is Vivie. Oh, one more - my favorite:

Es meem: Yes mam - manners before age two - I think we're doing OK around here!

Funkytown

I just found myself in the bathroom with a 3 year old (who TOLD me "need go poo poo"!!!) doing his business on the potty, a frighteningly close to 2 year old dressed in a cat suit, Elmo in the form of a backpack, and a dancing turtle singing Funkytown. Does that happen to anyone else?
