Toddler Dialect 101

Bee is talking up a storm - a lot of mimicking, but also communicating his needs and wants and likes. In case you ever need to have a conversation with him, here's a translation:

raff = giraffe
free = tree
strs = monsters (as in Monsters, inc.)
cheese = mac n' cheese (but sometimes just cheese - you have to pay attention to what he's pointing at)
emo = Nemo (as in Finding Nemo)
papa = grandpa
mama = grandma (mommy is for me... it's a different word)
Iffy = Sophie (my parents' dog)
akit = blanket
muk = milk

afer = pacifier (I've never called it a binky)
ake oo = thank you (such a polite child!)

ishin = lotion
