The things children say. I have been told many times to write them down so I won't forget someday.
Lately, I have noticed that there are certain things my kids say that only I understand. This seems to be true for other mom's too. For example, a close friend of mine informed me that her son needs his "sassy" (pacifier in big people vocabulary).
My 19 month old has been talking up a storm lately. She says the basics "mommy/daddy", but also has a strong interest in animals. If I had to make a prediction today on the paths my girls will take in life, I put 3 year old as a princess and 19 month old as a veterinarian. She enjoys pointing out and talking about pets.
The other morning we are driving to work/daycare. 19 month old says "Look mommy, puppy!". I hear this over and over the whole ride. I don't see a single dog, so I begin to think she's a bit off her rocker. Finally as we park, she squeals with delight as a "puppy" crosses the street in front of us...it was a squirrel. Yes, my sweet little girl has her animals confused. 3 year old and I laugh and tell her it's a "squirrel". As we hop out of the van, 3 year old says to me "mommy, I need my nebulizer". "Nebulizer" I have discovered, is her name for a flashlight. She is studying flashlights at preschool, and it is a new fascination.
I guess I should add the term "translator" to my title.
