Modified Elsie-ism

Elsie and I were going to head over to Halmuni's place for a little playtime. I got Elsie all bundled up and prepared to head out into the elements. When we got to Halmuni's place, I couldn't find a parking space really close so we had to walk (read: I had to walk while carrying Elsie). By the time we got to the front door, I was pretty chilled and Elsie was feeling it too.

Note: It was just about a year ago that Elsie exclaimed "my teeth are wobbly!", but a year has gone by and she has gained greater insight into exactly what was happening to her body.

She snuggled into my shoulder and whispered, "daddy, my teeth are going up and down, up and down, and up and down."

Just telling it like it is I suppose.

More Elsie-isms

Really quick - here are two of my favorite Elsie-isms.... mostly because they're just so cute.

1. Hurty - (v) something that is going to inflict pain on Elsie. If you take off my bandaid it's going to hurty!
2. Mines - (pro) used to indicate possession. That is yours and this is mines. (this actually makes a lot of sense).

Elsie-isms

I know there are always a bunch of things that are forgotten over time, which is really a shame considering the moments of joy and levity they provide. Among those are the funny and cute things that children say.... just ask Bill Cosby (obscure reference for some).
So without further ado, here are some of the most memorable Elsie-isms produced to date (I know I'm already forgetting a bunch of them).

• "Kay you?" - Elsie's version of, "are you ok?" This phrase was usually accompanied by a gentle touch if you seemed to be distressed. Empathy at its finest.
• "You're my honey." - Elsie would sometimes tell me this.
• "Mmmmm, not really." - Her response to the question, "do you like mama's haircut." This was cute because it was more a reflection of reading 'Sam I Am' than an actual dislike for Dana's new haircut.
• "SAM I AM!!!" - Not really sure what synapses in her little mind created this game. Sometimes when getting undressed, she will get her arms out of her shirt, and if the shirt gets stuck pulling it over her head so it looks more like a hat, she will exclaim this loudly with lots of laughs.
• "Ok, ok, just minute!" - I have NO idea where she gets this...
• "Oh, I see." - This is her response to when we give her an answer to a question she asks. It's just cute to hear a 3YO say it.
• "My teeth are wobbly!" - This one came out just last night after getting out of her bath and before getting dried off. Chattering teeth.
• "I'm NAKED!!!" - ..........
