Abby-isms

My daughter is a very talkative almost-two-year old. And she comes up with the funniest words.

Some of her funniest lately include:

"pay-picks" and "surps" (pancakes and syrup)

"cake, keem and peachies" - her list of dessert favourites, in descending order of preference

"pawk" and "sachak" (park, and "snack shack") - she loves to go to the park and play in this little house there, she pretends she's serving food from the windows, so we've labelled the house "Abby's Snack Shack")

"amick" - triceratops dinosaur bath toys

"debby debby" and "debby debby uh-oh" - two brontosaurus bath toys. Debby debby uh-oh used to just be called "debby debby" but it got its third name after losing the top of it's noggin. Abby bit part of the first debby debby's head off several months ago. She seemed so shocked and upset to see debby debby with only part of a head, so we bought her another one. Now she holds them both up together and goes "debby debby" and "debby debby uh-oh", and scratches her head.

She's also got this funny game going with her father, all about eating noses and whiskers and the like. She pretends to pick off Clancy's whiskers or nose, and eat them. Then when Clancy fake-cries that she ate his nose or whiskers, she laughs her butt off and goes "buahahah! Crying"! I hope that she means that she thinks that his fake-laughing is funny, as the only other explanation is that my beautiful child is a budding psychopath. Nah, I doubt that, she has always expressed serious concern every time she saw or heard someone in pain or crying. Maybe its just my husband's goofy ways.

Did I mention how smart my daughter is? She is 21 months old, knows most of her letters, can count to twelve, and can spell some simple words (like "pat"). She scares me she's so smart.
