Funny Abby-isms

I have a hilarious kid. Point blank, I think she's the funniest kid on the planet. Of course all other parents think their kids are the funniest, but ok, we're all biased!

Abby has an amazing capacity for language and communications for an almost 3 year old. She's been able to speak in clear words since about six months old, when she had a vocabulary of about 6 words. Now she can say things in the clearest, most unbelievable way, and she's not even 3!

Unfortunately she's also entering the dreaded "potty humour" stage. Ugh. Everything is poopy, stinky, peepee, etc. Its hard to keep it in check. Its really hard not to laugh.

Last week she was calling people "stinky". I told her it wasn't nice to say that people are stinky. She looked up at me wtih innocent eyes and said "but mommy, your toots are stinky".

Well... yes, yes they are.

How can you argue with that direct logic?

***********

Other recent Abby-isms, so I dont forget them:

- The word "spaghetti" has officially changed in Abby-speak from "gobbely" to "pasgetti"
- Vanilla is currently being pronounced as "malilla"
- Daddy has a volcano for a belly button, while Mommy has a "flatty". Abby thinks that the baby is going to be born through mommy's belly button.
- Abby's getting excited about being a big sister. She can't wait to change the baby's diaper and then "give him a time out" (ha! I laughed so hard at that one!)
- Abby occasionally pretends she has a baby in her belly too. If its a girl its name is Lindsay. If its a boy its name is Christopher.
- Abby officially is addicted to yogurt. Mallila (vanilla) is her hands down favourite. If there's no "malilla" then strawberry or blueberry will do.
