I'm Mary, wife to John, and mom to 10 kids ages 3-20. Six of them were adopted, from Ethiopia and Korea. I spend my days applying Bandaids, reminding kids to use their inside voices, persuading kids fractions are useful, cooking spicy ethnic food, and snapping gig after gig of pictures. Very late at night, I write about it all.

So fun! It’s very hard since each toddler type has their own vocabulary. We haven’t had any toddlers of our own for a while now, but my close friends all have little ones now. This is good practice for me to brush up on my toddler-speak since we will be bringing home our baby from China sometime next year!

Favorites of my son?
Dew-Dup – Juice Cup
Dirk-oo – Tickle or wrestle
Danta – Santa (As in the Santa Clause movies with Tim Allen)
Hsssss – House
Dsssss – Fish
I don’t have any new guesses other than what people have already said, but I wanted to share some of ours too. My 4yo still says:
balanna (banana)
feeyoot yeeoops (Froot Loops-which I did NOT buy! my parents brought them! gah!)
beeyoos keeyoos (Blues Clues)
That number 8 has got me stumped…but Lion King looks fave.
Is #8 Lightning Mc Queen?
I think everyone else had all the best answers for every other choice.
Okay and I’m sure you are a WTMer… am I right? I swear I should know this but… I can’t for the life of me remember who you are on the boards if you are there… If you aren’t a WTMer I know people have talked about your blog a lot in the past.
Love your blog.
