Noma-bug

It's time again for a post about the cute things that Sonoma says - age 2.

-Chap stick is always simply, "lips" She frequently says, "I want lips."
-Medicine is pronounced "menace" (as in Dennis the Menace)
-Ruby was recently pronounced "Wiby", but is now "Wooby"
-Horses say, "Meigh" (and not "Neigh")
-Thank you evolved from "dakum" to "deegoo" to "dankyoo"
-Monkey was "muhgee"
-Juice was "duce"
-Grandma or grandpa has been "buhgah" and is usually "bungah"
-Sticker is "sigee" (emphasis on the first syllable)
-Olivia is "Alivala"
-Rabbit is "wabbut"
-Blanket is "banget"
-Ballerina is "weena" or when she really tries, "uhnuhweena"
-Garbage is "buggage"
-Stroller is "slow-der"
-Toilet is "tohlet"
-Butterfly is "Uh-fly"

With language like this, I am in heaven. I love listening to her talk. She is great at communicating, and is very creative with the gibberish that she throws in to fill in the blanks of what she wants to say.

She was recently potty-trained (just 2 months after turning 2), and is loving her independence. She especially enjoys being naked. Despite the first weeks initial accidents and the occasional play with toilet water (disgusting!), she has done very well with it all.

Sonoma loves playing with her big sisters. They are usually very good at including her in their games. She wants to be like them in every way. This means that she is following in their girly footsteps. Anyone wearing a dress or a skirt is automatically a "pincess" (princess). She likes to get dressed up and hold a "pack-pack" (backpack - which can be any sort of bag) where ever we go. She also loves stories and reading, playing with dolls, dancing, swinging, and being silly.

We love her smile (even though she has an under bite)! And although she is in the 5th percentile for height, she enjoys eating quite a bit. She likes to eat (among other things) avocado, tomato, seaweed, cheese, bread and butter, and treats, of course.

We LOVE our Noma-bug! She is our little bumblebee (Ru is a ladybug, Viv is a butterfly, fyi).
