Since both kids are now speaking up, I've kept track of what each have been saying lately.
Olivia's vocabulary has been exploding over the last month. So far she's right about in line with when Robin started to really chatter at 18 months. Unlike Robin, she has refused to repeat words you want here to say.
Daddy: "Olivia, can you say duck?"
Olivia: "No!"
Daddy: "Can you say car?"
Olivia: "No!"
Daddy: "Can you say no?"
Olivia: ... silence
Here's a list of Olivia's words that she's used so far:
Ine (mine)
Nah! (no)
No
Up
Kaka (cracker)
Booka (book)
Sit (most often a command)
Hat
Do (when she wants you to do something)
Too (when she wants to join in)
Sootha (soother)
Appa (apple)
Moon (she says when pointing to moon or sun pictures)
Cheesssssss (cheese)
Ema (Elmo)
Duck
Hi
Go
Num num (for a food she likes)
Ticka (sticker)
Pease (please)
Code (cold)
That's all I managed to catch and remember to write down, but I have a feeling in a month or so there will be too numerous to count.
Robin, with the following quotes, still manages to blow the circuits in my brain. Child logic is not adult logic, but I'm re-wiring to try and work it out as I go. Here's some of the latest:
Daddy: "Don't be silly."
Robin: "I don't know how to not be silly!" hmmmm... this may be true.
Robin: "I want to swim in the barfy water forever!!!!" after being told to evacuate the wading pool that a child had vomited in.
Robin: "Here's a bandage for you daddy." having been found in the above mentioned pool. Yum.
Robin: "I had an enormous poop!" after coming out of a porta-potty, within earshot of... hundreds.
Robin: "When you toot it makes bubbles!" tub science at its best.
Robin: "Maybe the toot can be friends with the pee-pee." thankfully said on the toilet.
Robin: "You're sick. I need to clip out your bones" said during doctor play time.
Daddy: "Robin just so you know, you don't throw your stethoscope at your patient." again, doctor play time. She might need more schooling.
Robin: "I need my builders hat. It keeps me safe on holidays." fittingly, she was at the lake on holidays, and was wearing a hard hat.
Robin, at Brigitte's birthday , she greeted guests with: "Welcome to Misery Land!"... it comes from the Little Ms. Sunshine book. The party fun.
Daddy, teasing about the title of the book Little Miss Splendid: "Let's read Little Miss Do Do."
Robin: "Daddy, if you don't know what the book is called maybe we should read another little miss book."
Robin: "My poop looks like Indian food." ironic, because she likes Indian food.
Robin, observing the seashell macaroni: "These noodles look the things that cover your nipples." I'm guessing mermaid bikini top here.
