Don't you love listening to children acquire language.
The other day Brigham had left his bowl of cereal on the table and went to play. He came back later and I heard him say.
Brigham: "Mom, help, mom"Mom: "What's wrong Brigham"
Brigham: "Look, my mini-wheats melted.......can you get me some new ones."
He was referring to his soggy cereal. Soggy......melted......it works for me.
Kaiya has a fleece jacket that has butterflies all over it. She was getting ready to play outside and wanted the jacket on. Of course she wanted to do it herself. As I was waiting for her she put on her hood. She was standing in front of her mirror. She got this big smile on her face and excitedly announced "Mom, I have butterflies on my lid." She of course was referring to her hood, but hood....lid.....I can see the connection.
Of course my all time favorite is Brigham's what Brig loves to say whenever Kaiya cries.... "Kaiya, don't cry.........you'll melt."Mom, will you tangle my yogurt. (He wanted it stirred)
After taking a big drink of his smoothie Brigham cheerfully exlcaimed he had a "chick hicks." As I was sitting there trying to figure out what he meant he pointed to his smoothie mustache and said again "look mom, I have a chick hicks." (If you don't know who chick hicks is he is a green race car with a thick black mustache from the movie Cars. I loved how Brig called it a chick hicks so much that I debated whether to correct him or not. Some cute things I never want to end.
