Very Vivid Vocabulary Evolving Every Day
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008 | Uncategorized | No Comments
It has been a while since I have updated with any of Ansley’s words and phrases. She is currently working on sentence structure. It is so funny to listen to her begin a “sentence”, put a few grunts in the middle, and end the “sentence”. She is beginning to show that she understands a sentence has more than a few words in it. It is so fun to watch her vocabulary transform.
Current words and phrases (the favorites):
“Su-why” (Super Why)
“Me-e” (I want something)
Me-e, pease (I want fudge or other treat)
“Gootness Daddy/Mommy” (response to a cough)
“Bess you Daddy/Mommy” (response to a sneeze)
“Aww, Lamb” (usually when playing with Daddy)
“Hey…that’s mine” (when something is taken away or, oddly enough, when we comb her hair)
“No, no, no cryin” (not sure exactly what she means by this, but it has become a frequent line)
“See ____?” (This is her most common question. Fill in the blank with a name or object, like see Rachel? See fish?, etc.)
“Read dit”
“Lap”
“Tank oo” and “ ’elcome”
“Dowww-m” (down)
Ansley knows a lot of animals and the sounds they make. Among my favorites are “hoe-see” (horse), “ef-nt” (elephant), “o-psss” (octopus), and “fwhy” (butterfly).
She can sing her ABCs with almost every letter included. “A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-K-K-L-I-P-Q-R-S-T-U-V-W (dub oo)-X-Y-and-Z.
Le French

Apparently, there is some recessive French genes in either Scott or me because our daughter surely thinks she is French. It cracks me up and I honestly do not know where she has gotten it, but she frequently puts a “le” in front of her words. For example, I am “le mommy,” when she is tired, she wants “le bankie,” etc. So “le” cute!
Such a talker

I get comments all of the time about how articulate Ansley is for her age. She never ceases to amaze me with some of the things she says. I wanted to take a few moments to record some of the things that are among my favorites right now.
We have always done a lot of “can you say…” with names. One of her favorite lists to repeat has been her friends from school:
“Drew, Ky-gle, Rer-ree, Leena, Eb-ee, Trina”
Since our beach trip, one of her favorite words is one of her favorite things to do:
“Curs” (translation: colors)
There is one phrase that will probably stick with me because I just absolutely love it:
“You sunny” (translation: You’re funny)
Of course, the two that are the most precious to my ears are:
“Mah-meee” and “Da-deee”
Favorite Songs to sing:
“A, b, c, d, d-i-d, h, I, k, k, l-i-p……qrs, t, v, now I know I know I know” (usually followed immediately by Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star as the second verse).
“Itsa-pider ‘gain. YEA!”
