I never imagined having two daughters, nor could I predict the amount of talking that would ensue. Now that our two year old is forming sentences, it’s become sheer comedy in our house. I understand only about half of what Emylia says, and our five year old is fabulous at translating. Warning, some of her language isn’t…well..quite coherent yet, so it may be a bit crass. Sorry folks, this is real life.
Toddler Talk
Understanding Gibberish…
Emy: Emy want apple jeeuuucce…aggle flagab waap pwwwweas.
Me: Lila, what did she say after apple juice?
Lila: Emy wants apple juice in a big girl cup please.
Me: (dumbfounded) Ok.
Toddler Profanity…
We use the My Tot Clock
, which turns yellow at 7:00AM, when Emy and Lila are allowed to leave their beds. This is what we wake up to some mornings…
, which turns yellow at 7:00AM, when Emy and Lila are allowed to leave their beds. This is what we wake up to some mornings…
Emy: MAMA! Cock is yellow! Emy wake up now?
Literally, My Name is Emy…
Me: You are being rude, please listen.
Emy: No I’m Emy.
Me: Yes your name is Emy, but you are being disrespectful.
Emy: Stop it Mama, I’m Emy!
(Or in those sweet moments)
Me: You are so cute you little Stinkerbell!
Emy: No mama, name is EMY!!!
Wedding Woes
On a lovely Saturday afternoon we had a tea party, and I brought out our wedding album to show the kids. Boy was this fun. (can you see my eyes rolling?)

| He’s kinda cute huh?! |
On Paper Photos…
Lila: Why are the pictures on paper and not the computer?
Me: Well, we used to have cameras with film, and you could only get them developed on paper.
Lila: What’s developed?
Me: Where they take the pictures off the film, and transfer them to paper.
Lila: What’s film?
Me: (sigh)
On How We Looked On Our Wedding Day…
Lila: What’s on your head?
Me: A veil.
Lila: No the sparkly thing.
Me: You know what this is, a tiara!
Lila: But you’re not a princess.
Me: Thanks. Every bride can be a princess on her wedding day if she wants.
Lila: I want to be a princess every day.
Me: Get in line sweetheart.
Lila: You look young mommy, and no lines on your face…and skinnier.
Me: Actually I’m healthier and thinner now, I was heavier back then.
Lila: And your boobs were bigger then too.
Me: Yep…before you and your sister sucked the life out of them.
Lila: Daddy is handsome, and his hair was black like Prince Eric.
Me: He still has dark hair.
Lila: No it’s a little black and a lot white now.
And there you have it. Nothing brings you back to earth (and deflates your ego heartily) like a trip down memory lane with your kids. What’s your favorite ‘kids things say’ of the day?

HA! Kids say the funniest things. She does seem to be full of spunk though!
Yes, she is spunky for sure!
Thanks for the giggle this morning! Those are awesome!
It’s such a great post.
I can’t stop laughing….. 😀
I can’t wait to have my own kids
Just you wait Winnie! lol!
Yeah, kids can really take you for the roller coaster of emotions every day. My kids tell my husband all the time that he is “too fat” to go on their little kid slide. He is in no way shape or form fat but try explaining that to my kids. Lol. Love it!
They tell me my breath smells too! Kids say the darndest things.
Sarah: “I’m not a parrot. I’m not a parrot. I’m not a parrot.”
haha, gotta love the honesty of kids!
Love this! My daughter is 19 months and only says a few things that I can decipher. How lucky that you’ve got a translator!
