she also speaks some actual english (turtle, car, bubbles, again, tower, crackers, giggles, crackers, down, up, yes, no, cheese, bath, nap, etc), but most of the time she refers to things by the sounds they make or what they do. a bunny is a "hop", a cow is a "moo". an example of a zu sentence: "E e the puhple bow-bow?". translation: where is the purple bow?
i'm going to miss this zuzu toddler language one day.
I love her word for dessert! "Double." She is being raised right! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I love her toddler words. Charlotte's aren't quite as interesting. She mostly just calls things what they are, except for the longest time she called a napkin a "gappin."
ReplyDeletehaha! i love this! toddler's are the best for new words and new ways of seeing the world. i was so sad when my friend liz's little girl turned 3 and all of a sudden could speak full english sentences. so sad! life is much more colorful in toddler-speak.
