Funny Phrases

Taelyn’s vocabulary continues to increase, and she has recently started using verbs frequently. Some of her common sentences are pretty cute. Here are a few of our favorites!

1. “I stuck Pooh Bear” (stuck like Pooh Bear) – she says this whenever she gets her body stuck somewhere. She tends to overuse this phrase, though, and says she is stuck any time she just doesn’t want to make the effort to move. She will put her foot in the laundry basket and say she is stuck like Pooh Bear even though she could easily take her foot out.

2. Taelyn: “I so sowy” (I’m so sorry)

Justin: Taelyn, you don’t have to be sorry.

Taelyn: “so so sowy”

We’re not quite sure where Taelyn picked this up, but she likes to say she is sorry in a very sad voice. Sometimes she has a reason to say it, but other times she just says it out of the blue. Lately, she has been saying sorry when she feels a little scared; if she sees a car when we go for little walks, for example, she knows she is supposed to hold one of our hands, and she will quickly grab a hand and say sorry to the car.

3. “Monkey ead cookie book” (Monkey read the cookie book) – I asked Taelyn if she wanted to read with me the other day, and she said this. She then got her stuffed monkey and the book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, and started to “read” the book to the monkey. After a few minutes of this, she also got out her Wall-E, lined him up with Monkey, and read to both of them.

4. “Kae-ya pay monkey” (Kaelia play with the monkey) – Taelyn has been trying to incorporate her sister with play time much more. She will take toys like the stuffed monkey, put them on Kaelia’s belly, and then tell Kaelia to play with it. Kaelia, of course, loves any attention that her sister gives her.

5. “daw zeba” (draw zebra) – at least once a day, Taelyn will take out her crayons and paper to “draw” a zebra. She scribbles all over the paper and says over and over again that she is drawing a zebra. Then she will sometimes draw Wall-E and Eve, but the zebra is by far her favorite.

6. “sippy, oh sippy” – this is Taelyn’s way of looking for her sippy cup when she can’t find it. She will call for it as she wanders around the house looking for it. The phrase also changes to anything that she is looking for (“blankie, oh blankie”). Now, if Justin or I mention anything like “where is ______?” Taelyn will immediately start searching the house with her catch phrase. She is so helpful, and sometimes she actually finds what we are looking for!

Some other words that Taelyn frequently uses are: eat, ucky (yucky), Eemo (Nemo), Eh-mo (Elmo), and peese (please with extra emphasis on the ee).
