Bonnie Language

Bonnie has started talking pretty frequently. It's interesting that my second child is saying "mine" at 17 months old, but I guess not that interesting when you think about what goes on in our house all day (read: fighting about toys). Most words she says (lion, no, dog) are pretty self-explanatory, but some require definition from the Bonnie Translator, who happens to be me.

Yeah - "I want what you have." This is usually repeated many times until I hand over the item, food, etc.

Kaa kaa - Duck

Climb - pronounced "kime" - I want to climb on Daddy.

Aaaaeeeaaauuuaaah! - "Kellen has me rolled up like a burrito in the entry way rug!" We didn't hear this derivation of the Bonnie Distress Code until this morning.

Loved the post, and can relate, being our in-house Norah-translator, myself. I did, however, call Jenny last week to razz her about "Kaa Kaa"/"Caca" (knowing full-well Norah was referring to the sound her bathtub ducks were making). I explained to Jenny that the twins must had been the ones teaching Norah to swear in Spanish, seeing as how they're the only bi-lingual kids we know.
