She's Got a Way with Words

EB is in a talkative stage -- she talks non-stop, making up phrases, words and expressing herself with funny logic. It's great fun; here is a list of my all-time favorite EB-isms*: 

hanitizer          noun \ ‘haŋ-ә-ti-zәr\
Hand sanitizer, as in Purell  (“Mommy, can I have the hanitzier?”)

donuts            noun
Something she can eat in place of peanuts because of her peanut allergies (“I can’t have peanuts, but I can have walnuts and donuts”)

nursery school    noun
EB’s reference to the nursing school that K currently attends (“Daddy is going to nursery school”)

dressing sandwich noun
Chicken salad sandwich that I had made, with way too much mayo mixed in (“I don’t like the dressing sandwich that Mommy made”)


age-ier  adj  \’āj-ir\
When one is older (“Mommy is age-ier than me”)





*EB-isms   noun \’ē-bē -izәmz\
1: words and phrases made up by EB 
2: a three-year old’s adorable attempt to make sense of things around her

  1. A little addition to EB-ism: "Cuz-be:" EB's oral dyslexic version of "because."
