My girls say the darndest things!

Naomi is learning how to talk. She learns a lot from her sister's accessible vocabulary. She also just has a lot to tell us. So yesterday I wrote down just about everything I heard her say, starting first thing in the morning:

Mom, eek up. Eek up, Mom! (My wake-up call. Good thing she's cute!)

Penny hurt myself. (Penny hurt me.)

Breakfast:
Wuh guh giss. Wuh guh giss, Mom! (Look at this!)
My drop it cereal. (I dropped my cereal.)
Dup! (Jump!)
More wadder, Mommy. Wadder. My need wadder. (Naomi was thirsty.)
Mommy, broom! (Mom, I'm holding a paintbrush!)
What's that, seed? Wo's sat? (holds up apple seed)
I got you lights (I turned on the lights.)
Jumping chair jumping chair (jumps off chair)
I found a seed! I put in it water. I goddit! (We were playing with apple seeds this morning, obviously!)

That one's pink. (That one's red, blue, or green.)
Me: What color is it?
Naomi (every time: Pink!

Kippera gog (Kipper the dog. Penny loves this show. Naomi likes everything Penny does.)
It's hamme shubbel! (It has (me) shovel. : i.e., the dog on TV has a shovel.)

Wuh guh giss! (Look at this)
Bwee bops (or bee bops) (Flip flops)
Ow! My himme self! (I hurt myself!)
Ow! Jiejie himme self! (Ow! Jiejie (Penny) hurt me.)

Mom, I'm cookie. I'm cooking. (self correction)
Me: "What are you making?"
Naomi: "Crn." These girls love corn!

Where's my sipping soup? (Swimming suit)
My need heeop. (I need help.)
I'm too hodda me. (It's too hard for me.)

Butter jam finger me. (I'd like a scoop of peanut butter on my finger, please.) (And I have NO IDEA where they get the idea it's okay to eat peanut butter by the glob! Ahem....)

(Singing) Lou lou darlin', tippa lou lou darlin'.

I need Daddy snuggle you! (Usually heard lamenting in her room after being put to bed.)


Penny has a wonderful command of the English language. Her vocabulary continues to amaze me. But words are just part of the story. I have no idea what she's talking about sometimes, even though the words themselves are beautiful and precise. Case in point:

Penny: "Look at all the cars on the bridge! We can't call the ocean died."
Um... The cars part made sense. She lost me on the dead ocean.

Penny: Mommy, look what I'm drawing with my finger (draws in the air). 'A' ..... I have to do this part.
Thank you, Superwhy.

Penny (singing): It's actually colorful. Co-lor-fuuuull.
