You don't want to forget those funny things they say at this age!
Before I had kids I was very unimpressed with adults copying toddler talk and I was never going to do it, but they are so cute, aren't they, I just couldn't help it. My son invented a whole language of his own and we were all speaking it ;)
ReplyDelete"Shake the boobies"? Yes, I'd be a bit concerned, too!
Yes exactly! Sometimes it was so grating when adults would speak like kids, but it's hard to resist when it's your own and they're so darn cute. I wanted to note all of Mia's sayings down before she grows out of them and I forget.
ReplyDeleteUm yes, that one is a bit strange. It morphed from "Shake that body!", which someone has told me has something to do with The Wiggles, to "Shake the boobies". It's hard not to laugh though. Let's just hope that's one of the ones she grows out of!
