Oh, my Little Lady.
Those who know her in real life, know that her ennuciation/pronunciation is not ALWAYS correct.
Heck, I've given examples here on the blog . . . remember our struggles with the Letter S? Thankfully, she's no longer saying "kinky cocks" each time she sees a pile of "stinky socks." Yes, that problem has been remedied. Oh -- and she can now say "Upstairs" instead of "Up YOURS!"
Things are getting better.
But, these days, she seems to enjoy ADDING letters to words. . . . like the word "ice."
She loves, loves, loves ice. Every sippy cup of water needs a few, freshly frozen chunks of Mice in it.
Wait? Mice?
Yes, dear reader -- MICE.
THE ONE ANIMAL THAT F-R-E-A-K-S ME OUT.
That's what she calls ice.
"Mommy, Mommy! Um . . . . (oh, and "um" is our new favorite word) need some mice. Please, Mommy, please! Mice, Mommy! MICE!"
PLEASE, child, PLEASE -- drop the M!
We practice at every meal; both her Daddy and I repeatedly say, "No -- ICE. ICE."
And, with dogged determination, she reiterates . . ."Mice. MICE."
Of course, Daddy thinks its funny. Then, again, he's ALSO the lovely man who taught her the game "See-Food" last week . . . and taught her the game "Throw It." (which, apparently, involves CHUNKING anything and everything across the room -- off the couch -- down the stairs -- at my head. Sigh)
Yeah, mealtimes are just lovely. She's talking about mice, showing me mouthful shots of partially chewed food, and yelling "Throw It" as she pitches potatoes and bread across the table.
So . . . um . .. . Anyone want a toddler for a few days?

Aww, so super cute. Ours used to say adorable things but she slowly grows out of them and we're wishing she would "joo" instead of "juice". It's just cute.
NO thanks. I have a 2yo of my own. Here we have "cockters" instead of helicopters and he tells his brother to "go room!" (go to your room). Plus all the other usual 2yo stuff they tend to do. Aren't kids fun? LOL
I have a 6 year old who "knows it all", a 4 yr old who loves to make her 6 yr old sister cry, and a 1 yr old that likes to take everything on....off, in....out (just make messes in general). So I'd trade you but I'm not sure you'd want to. :)
How cute. Reminds me of how my son said 'fire truck'. We used to get some shocking looks. :)
Aww, come on! That's very adorable.
But I don't like mice in my water too. Gross!
