– She currently loves all things monkeys, which she calls “muggys.” I took her to a playdate and the first thing she said to the other little girl was “Oh, um, hi. Do you wuv muggys?”
– We don’t allow her to watch WordGirl but she is obsessed with the previews and begs us to let her watch it all day long. I think it is because there is a monkey in it. So she lays down in our bed and pretends to be asleep, saying “Oh, I sweepin! Ahshoo, ahshoo.” Then she throws the covers off, jumps up and and screams “OH NO! IT BITE ME ! IT BITE ME!” And when I asked “What bit you, baby?” she said “WUHDGUHL! WUHDGUHL BITE ME WHISE I SWEEPIN!” And THEN she grabs the television remote and says “NOW I WAT WUHDGUHL OKAY! I SAY NO BITE WUHDGUHL!” *
– I asked S if she was ready for bed & she said “no fank oo.” So I said “Well it’s bedtime” & she said “I don’t agwee”
– We were watching Veggie Tales and Bob The Tomato asked “Can you help me?” And Scarlette said ” I don’t know! I JUST DON’T KNOW!”
– I was on the phone with my sister when she asked me how Scarlette was. “Oh, she’s just a little mess of trouble right now” I told her. Then Scarlette started singing “Twubbuh, twubbuh, twubbuh, OH! OH! OH! TWUBBUH!” And my sister was silent for a second and then asked “Did your daughter just sing Taylor Swift to me?” And I was all “Yes, yes she totally did.”
– Scarlette said “pweese cookies?” When I told her that no, we were all done with cookies she held her hands out and said “no cookies even pwease?”
– She had a terrible cough and when I pulled out the stethoscope (preemie mama alert) to listen to her chest she yelled “OH NO! A SNAKE!”
– I took her outside to play in the snow for the first time ever. First she kept yelling “OH NO! IS RAY-NAN!” When I told her that it wasn’t raining, it was snowing she started yelling “OH NO! IS NOSIN!”
– When Scarlette is tired or hurt, I often say “Oh goodness” to her. As in: “Are you so tired? Oh goodness!” She is worn out from today so I just picked her up and asked “Scarlette, how are you feeling?” She laid her head on my shoulder and said “Mama, I Oh Goodness.”
– Scarlette, holding out a piece of pepperoni to Lucy Dog: “PUPPY! You wan sun cookies? OKAY PUPPY! OKAY!” Then she yanks the pepperoni away and yells “JUCHI! JUCHI NO BITES COOKIES!”
Conversation #1: Scarlette had been asking me ALL DAY for muffins so I told her I would make some while she napped and she could have one when she woke up. Here is the conversation that happened when I went in her room:
Scarlette: Oh, um hi. Wuh you in da titchen?
KA: Yes I was in the kitchen, I was making some muffins.
Scarlette: You make munkins? Wellll, maybe I hab some munkins? I don’t know! I juh don’t know munkins!
KA: Yes, you can have some muffins.
Scarlette: YEAH! I GO SWEEPIN AND DEN I HAB MUNKINS! OH HONEY!
Conversation #2: To understand this conversation, you should know that Scarlette refers to Curious George as “Dooche”
KA, holding out penguin pajamas: It’s time for jamas!
Scarlette: NOOOOOO!
KA: Well, we have to put on our pajamas at bedtime.
Scarlette: NOOOOO! *starts SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY*
KA: Can you tell mommy why you are crying?
Scarlette: MUGGYS!!
KA: You want to wear your monkey pajamas? Okay, you don’t have to yell or cry, you can just say “Monkeys please”
Scarlette: MUGGYS PWEESE!
*Can’t find monkey pjs, offers Curious George pjs instead*
Scarlette, jumping up and down while clapping: DOOCHE! DOOCHE MUGGYS! YAY YAY YAY YAY JAMAS!”
Conversation #3: Scarlette’s new thing is to tell me “quack quack” in answer to everything and then laugh hysterically at herself.
KA: “Scarlette, mommy said no. That is not safe, don’t touch that.”
Scarlette: *touches again*
KA: “Scarlette Vonne! No ma’am! If you touch that again, you will have to sit in time out, do you understand?”
Scarlette: “QUACK QUACK!” *doubles over with laughter*
KA: “No, not quack quack. You may say ‘Okay, Mama'”
Scarlette: *whispers* “Okay, Quack Quack Mama”
*”She is a genius and we need her mind!” (Name that movie) Also, I have nothing against WordGirl, she’s just too young for it.
