Peanut’s Gigi (grandma) watched her this past weekend while Jon and I took an overnight trip to Boston and I was writing out some general routine etc guidelines for her, along with Peanut’s less than obvious pronunciations of words.
“wasset” = what’s that. Used as one word, always.
“up-pit” = open.
“bee-kee” or something even weirder that I can’t figure out how to type out = blanket. She always has to have two of them.
“Tah-veess” = Travis. Also often referred to as “arf,” what she calls doggies. Hey, at least she got the sound right.
“doogy” = cookie. Usually said in a whiny voice after she gets hurt, like, “doooooo-gy.” That one’s our fault for trying to calm her down with a cookie once when we were in Florida. Apparently toddlers have memories like elephants when it comes to cookies and nunu’s. ps- we don’t usually give in, but it doesn’t stop her from asking for her “doogy.”
“ralf” = milk. She can actually pronounce milk if you ask her to do it, but when she’s asking for it, it’s always “ralf,” to which I maturely reply, “Ralf’s not here right now, but if you leave a message, he’ll be sure to get back to you.”
Hahahahaha!! Ralf makes me laugh!! And since I’m totally immature I would do that too! LOL
That is awesome!!! I love how she pronounces things!
can’t wait to hear more.
Never would have guessed “ralf” was milk lol. I tried pronouncing it outloud a couple diffrent ways seeing if I could come up with anything but I got as far as raft and couldn’t think of a reason she’d ask you for a raft.
we are just as confused!
so cute!
Lol at Ralf! E says gaga for TV, which is weird until I explain why…. I call the TV the goggley box (like my parents did) so she now says gaga for TV, surely gogo would make more sense! Kids who are learning to talk have weird ideas sometimes!
lol they really do!
I really need to make one of these lists of Aubrey’s words. This is too cute! Ralf… hahaha!
Have to join in! Ralf!!!
Too funny!
Haha, “Ralf” is hilarious! I love precious toddler pronunciations. Writing them out is a great idea when they are with someone that doesn’t hear them talk everyday!
AHAH!! When I clicked on this post, the toolbar said, “This page is in Spanish. Translate? Yes. No.” SO FUNNY!!
And oh my gosh – ralf’s not here right now – so freakin hilarious!!
My kids always come in the kitchen saying “I’m HUNGRY” and Jason will say, “Hi Hungry, I’m Dada”. It used to make Leo so angry. So Jason would always say, “Okay Leo, I’m just kidding”. But then one day, instead of freaking out, Leo waited for Jason to say, “I’m just kidding” and Leo yelled “HI KIDDING!!!”
LOL!!!!!!!!!! He’s so smart
Ralf is the best I’ve heard for milk!! I LOVE it! Caroline calls nursing “side” which wierds me out and cracks me up at the same time – “side” for when I’ve asked her if she wants the other side. Oh….toddlers. I think I need to wean her….
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that’s awesome.
Peanut can already handle Mr Potatoehead?
Here in Germany everything is (certainly, typically correct, German-like, gaaah) rated by age and I never know what to buy for my Niece, who´s 2 1/2 now.
I bought a suitcase rated 3+ and wondered if she can handle the opener. Guess so now, considering your Daughter managing this Mr P! Germans…. argh.
Still have to laugh about Ralf!
Iris- she mostly just like to pull the body parts out and throw them around
it is great for learning body parts though because she is calling them all by their appropriate name. Our Mr. Potato head said 2+.
