A few current favourites
Had to capture some of the things Benjy says and does at the moment which I find cute beyond cute.
'Happy cake' -birthday cake
'Mummy help you' - what he says when he wants me to help him
'Plikit' - Piglet
'Wobbly' - the way he describes how he's feeling when he's dizzy
'Be' - this follows a noun, when he is looking for something, a shortened version of 'where can xx be?'. Walking round Ikea today - 'Daddy be?'; when looking for the missing jigsaw piece - 'piece be?' etc
'Lovely' - I must say this a lot, because Benjy has recently started using it, and it seems an unusual word for a toddler to use. We were in the park the other day and went to sit on the bench. As we approached it, Benjy said, 'Lovely bench'. The next day, we went back to the car after the playground and Benjy said 'Lovely our car' and gave it a kiss and cuddle. Very odd but very cute
'Excuse me' - overheard as Benjy squeezed through a tight spot to get past his table and chairs and into the kitchen
'Mummy/Daddy off' - when we are singing along to his music in the car but he wants to, well, turn us off
'Mean' - when I misunderstand something the first time he says it, then eventually work it out, he says 'mean', as in, 'that's what I mean'
Lastly, for now, having a favourite toy or character in a book and having to show it everything he does. I will often find a book, or even a catalogue (there is a picture of a girl dressed as a fairy that he loves) laid out in the middle of the room surrounded by his toys. 'Mittens, look - train! Fairy, look - jumping!' and so on
