word on the street

I HAVE to jot down some of what Ellie is saying these days. Everyone says that I will forget. She is a mile a minute and CRACKS me up.

• Her version of her name: Eddie Peteson
• Her version of 'daddy': Cwis Peteson
• Her version of 'mommy': MaaaaaayGAN
• When nervous/anxious/uncomfortable: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny
• "Fedburd. Scurrrrrry. Eddie" (Fredbird scared me!)
• "Fedburd tuckle Johnny's toes!" (Fredbird tickled John's toes)  We met Fredbird seriously 3 weeks ago and she cannot stop talking about this scary red bird.
• ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy GOSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
• wookit! wookit mommy! (look at this, mom. She says this to EVERYTHING!)
• "I get my nails done." I took Ellie to get her nails done last week and she hated it. but can't stop talking about it.
• "Go Caaadnals!"
• "Gretchie's house? Eddie bring soup." She wants to go to Gretchen's to bring her soup for an illness Gretch had a couple of weeks ago.
• "Gray's house?"
• "I hit Johnny. Eddie in time out."
• "That's a big one!!" (TMI, Chris taught her that one, that is all I'm saying)
• "spacetime?" (FaceTime)
• "paddy" (iPad)
• poschcal (popsicle, aka breakfast at my mom's house)
• wishsticks (lipsticks)
• Bau, HUSH! (poor Bauer gets the brunt of Ellie's demands)
• Ceeeryl hold hands? (asking her Aunt Cheryl to hold her hand)
• She can name everyone in both families and is particularly interested in significant others: Michael (Cece's bf & Lacey, Bryce's GF)
• "Johnny, I borrow it?" while taking John's binkie

I am drawing a blank right now.. I will have to interview her tonight and will add to the list. PS. My biggest pre-kids pet peeve was an adult talking like their child in their baby voice. I turned into that. Shoot. I will try and limit this to print and not saying it aloud.
