Isla actually didn’t really start talking a lot until this summer, when her vocab just exploded. Now we can’t get her to stop talking. Like any toddler, she’s had some funny ways of expressing herself, funny pronunciations.
Here are my favorites:
10. ”One two fee dubba vee” (when she was learning to count at the beginning of the summer)
9. Caleb: Does Daddy love you?
Isla: NO!
Caleb: Who loves you?
Isla: Elmo loves you!
8. Isla saw a few minutes of So You Think You Can Dance on TV. She then wanted to dance and “almost fall down” like the dancers on the show.
7. “Booty bears” (blueberries)
6. “Shoo fly, don bama you” (she thought that meant bug)
5. Waking up crying in the night, “Isla’s room said bonk!” (I think maybe the neighbors upstairs were moving furniture or something)
4. She adds “es” to any word to make it plural, including Arabic words: “hillses, bookses”
3. “Throw it up.” (Blow it out)
2. Caleb: You will find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Isla: Lion in a manger! RAWR!
1. While talking about how God is with us when we are afraid (Isla is afraid of the car), “God is not in Mommy and Daddy’s car. Silly God!”
