Tess has trouble with consonants, especially when they end words. So a lot of her speak has to be understood by context. For example, one day we left her daycare by walking through the back where the pool is located. Tess wanted to go swimming and screamed, "DA POO! Da poo." the whole way home that day. Later in the afternoon, she informed me that she needed a new diaper by pointing and telling me, "da poo!"
She says boo for book. And now of course I can't think of other examples, but I want to try and record them as I overhear them.
During this week with my parents, my Mom taught Tess "please" and "thank you." It comes out "peesss" and "dah doo."
She also saw a rooster that my Mom has up way high for decoration and wanted it. I told her it was a rooster, which goes cock-a-doodle-doo. For the rest of the trip, she called it the "dah doo." So "dah doo" has become the new catch-all phrase for everything.
"What's that Tess?" (me pointing to anything she can't name.)
"dah doo," she tells me. (The intonation is different from her way of saying thank you, however, so at least that's clear.)
