Becca-isms

My girl is a darn funny kid.  Her speech is still a bit more garbled sometimes.  And even though she knows plenty of words, she still just shrieks gibberish a lot, seemingly for her own amusement.  She loves to just walk around and sing, almost more so if we’re not in the same room as she is, and can sing a number of songs in their entirety (ABC, Twinkle Twinkle, Rain Rain Go Away, Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider, etc.).

In addition to the singing, I have two current favorite verbal Becca-isms:

1. We have been teaching them to say “may I be excused” when they want to get down from the table after a meal.  Rebecca’s version sounds like, “may I snooze!”  And the “sn” goes through her nose, rather than through her mouth/teeth, so it’s almost a “hnooze.”  Pretty cute.

2. Both kids have gotten better at semi-accurately answering the question “what did you do today?” when M asks it every evening.  Sometimes they tell stories about things we did weeks ago, instead of that morning, but still. Becca’s contribution to the story, though, is nearly always “and go home!”  Apparently an important part of every outing is that we did, in fact, go home at the end. It’s like she wants to finish every story with “and… Scene!”

Funny girl.

P.S. I’m never quite sure whether to write Becca/Rebecca.  When speaking, I use them both at different times, but I tend to lean towards Rebecca in writing. Anyways, please excuse the inconsistencies.
