Vanessa's Vocabulary at 28 Months
I wanna dis - Translation= I want this.
Oh Maan!! - We have no idea where she got this from because none of us say this. I think it's from the Dora the explorer character "Sniper."
Guata - abuelita
O ma Gosh! - Oh my gosh!
Me make - Means I'm cooking or, I want to cook.
I'll say "Vanessa Vamos a la iglesia ha ver tus amigas, yaaaay!" And she will look at me with all seriousness and say, "NO! Me casa, aqui! cook." Which means, absolutely not mom. I'm not going anywhere, not even to hang out with my friends. I am staying home and making dinner." (aaahhh what a dream daughter lol)
Whenever she does something wrong and she sees I have caught her red handed, she will look at me and say, "shhhhhh mommy, baby sleepeen." And begins to put her finger on her lips as she continues to say, "shhh, shhhh." This is her excuse to get out of EVERYTHING. That her baby is sleeping. I will say, "NO Vanessa. That was wrong or not nice or whatever," and she'll turn and face me again, put her finger up to her mouth and say, "shhhhhhhhhhhhh mommy! Baby sleepeen!!! Shhhhhhhhh." She for some reason is smart enough and manipulative enough to know that when a baby is sleeping we should respect that above all else and be silent. So therefore mommy now knowing her baby is asleep, (her doll), will have nothing to say and will have something else to focus on and forget the wrong thing Vanessa has just done. Pretty smart if you ask me, as she has never been around a baby and I can't figure out how she knows we are to be silent around sleeping babies.
I do it! - I can do it! Vanessa says "I do it! I do it!" To everything. There is nothing she says she can't do and nothing she doesn't want to do. From the moment she was born she was like this. Didn't want to be held and coddled all the time. Needed her alone time. VERY INDEPENDENT up until today. Won't let me hold her hand crossing the street. That is until I start reciting the "Safe" poem by Shel Silverstein, which teaches her how to cross the road. She loves it, holds my hand is learning the poem and laughs and enjoys it and THEN crosses the street.
SAFE, by Shel Silverstein
I look to the right,
I look to the left,
Before I even,
move my feet,
No cars to the left,
No cars to the right,
I guess it's safe,
to cross the street.
Com on, Com on (with the 'o' pronounced as a soft a like in Spanish) - Come on, come on.
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star- She can sing the song in full. Its the first song I used to sing her to bed since she was a little baby. We would lay in bed and I would cuddle her and do hand motions to it. Then later she would do the motions with me. Now she sings it around the house. The cutest little voice and pronunciation I've ever heard!
Ai Fi - Hi Five. One of her favorite shows on TV. It's two girls and two boys that make the show and they sing and dance and teach them all sorts of things dressed as characters and such. Vanessa's favorite shows have always been those with humans and characters. Her other favorite is the Wiggles.
Ameecaan Ido - The TV show, 'American Idol.'
This list can go on and on, as she is saying so much more now. I'll continue adding on, but for now, this is where the buck stops lol. I'm exhausted and need some sleep!
