Miss M has started putting small phrases together, and her vocabulary has just EXPLODED.
She's starting to really parrot everything that is said, especially me. I've had to really watch what I say, lest she start walking around saying the s-word everywhere. (That happens to be my personal favorite cuss word, my go-to when things aggravate me.)
Last night, for example, at dinner, M was refusing to eat her sweet potatoes, so I pointed at her plate and said, "eat that!" To which she promptly replied, "Eat tat!" and poked her finger in her food.
In addition to watching what I say, I'm having to learn an entirely new language. I couldn't understand why M kept saying "huh?" until I heard myself repeating that word over and over when she would say something I couldn't comprehend.
Like this morning. As I put her in her car seat, she kept saying, "boody! boody!" I said, "take your passy out, I can't understand you." She pulled it out and said, "booty! booty!" To which I replied "huh? wha? say it again!" Finally, she got frustrated, blew out a big breath, and said, "BOOTY SINGIN!"
Oh...."birdie singing."
I wonder if Google Translate has a "toddler to English" version?
