Learning How to Talk: Lucy Sayings

What a difference a few months make. The kid has really embraced her “learning how to talk” phase. She’s learning new words and phrases every day, her vocabulary changing, expanding at an incredible rate.

Because of this, I thought I’d jot down some of her favorite sayings. I find them very sweet. Unfortunately, these current “go to” phrases have very short lifespans. I’ve no doubt they’ll be discarded and replaced as the kid’s linguistic legerdemain continues to grow…

“Daddy, SIT…RIGHT THERE.”
(picture Lucy pointing at a very precise spot on the carpet, usually at the center of what looks like a doll convention.)

“Yay, Poo!”
(self-explanatory)

“Wubie, NO!”
(Poor Wubie, he doesn’t get away w/ nearly as much stuff w/ our new 2 year old beat cop around.)

“New Pants!”
(The other day I wore some new lounge pants I’d never worn before. As soon as Lucy saw ‘em, she shouted “New Pants!” pointed at my latest clearance rack find, and gave me a big smile, along w/ a knowing “I wear pants too!” look. I felt like the two of us were part of a special club.)

“My Knee!”
(This is Lucy repeating her mom’s favorite phrase. We all hear it on a daily basis, usually whenever mom tries to stand up. You know you’re in bad shape when Wubie the “Joint-Juice” Cat makes fun of you.)

Thanks to Auntie Laura for this post’s pic.
