Me: I’m going to make a bagel.
Meredith: and put butter and jelly on it?
Me: yeah
Meredith: don’t say yeah, say yes ma’am.

After jumping on her mini trampoline and falling down on purpose…
Grammy: Kaboomie!
Meredith: I wanna go kaboobie again!

While driving and David and I are attempting an adult conversation in the front seat…
Meredith: mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy MOMMY MOMMY!
Me: yes Meredith?
Meredith: Daddy driving.
Me: yes he is.
We return to talking…
Meredith: mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy MOMMY MOMMY!
Me: yes??
Meredith: um…bird poop on yours car!

David: say sand.
Meredith: sand.
David: say wich.
Meredith: wich.
David: say sandwich.
Meredith: finjer!

Commenting on what she and David brought home from the store…
Meredith: I got toilet paper for yours butt!

While David took her browsing the bookstore in the true crime section…
Meredith: you need Bible study.

On our way to church small group…
Me: are you excited that your friend Caleb from church is going to be at your school tomorrow?
Meredith: oh! There’s two Kaylas!
Me: no, this is Ca-le-BUH. With a “B” on the end.
Meredith: CaleBUH.
Me: right.
Meredith: Kayla and Arriya my best friends.
Me: that’s so sweet.
Meredith: Arriya-BUH.
Me: no Meredith, your friends Arriya and Kayla are at school, then your friend Caleb from church is going to be there tomorrow. He is the only one with the BUH on his name and whose house we are going to now.
Meredith: (pauses) Aria-BUH!
Me: (sighs)

While “helping” me make dinner…
Meredith: I yours little helper!
Me: that’s right, you’re my best helper. Liam doesn’t help does he?
Meredith: no and daddy doesn’t help.
Me: …

While I was holding her…
Meredith: (grabbing my boobs and looking in my shirt) whoa! Look at those nursers!

Can I just say, I love that girl. She’s starting to warm up to me, too, which makes my heart all sorts of happy.

This morning, Caleb was throwing a little fit, and I reminded him that if he couldn’t act like a big boy, he couldn’t go to school and see his friends… he looked up at me through tear-soaked lashes and said, “My friends like Mere-biff?”

We’re working on getting all of the phonetics of Meredith down… ;)

  Ha! Well my nephew calls her “Merfedif” and he’s 5, so it might take awhile. It’s a hard one. :) Caleb is so much fun and I love that he’s not shy like her! I’m so glad they’re friends!

The last one kills me!

I always get a good chuckle out of toddler pronunciation. We have a hard time with L’s, so Isla just pronounces her name, “I-Ya.” I think my favourite is “Camel” for our dog Campbell, because now she has us saying it.

Oh goodness, that last quote? Too cute and too funny! And that second picture is adorable. I like when kids scrunch up their faces when they smile. :)
