The Language of Ellen

Ellen has a fantastic vocabulary for her age. She says more words than I could possibly count and speaks in multi-word sentences. It's actually pretty easy (and extremely amusing) to carry on a conversation with this little lady. For the most part, Ellen speaks very clearly and pronounces words correctly; however, there a few words that she puts her own cute twist on:

• uppydemo = armadillo
• toot-toot = tutu
• Cargick = Target
• ommacahno = avocado
• How-wo & Babba = Howard & Barbara (our next-door neighbors)
• owie sticker = bandaid
• Cookie Monkers = Cookie Monster
• soop = spoon
• moo cow = cow
• baa baa sheep = sheep
• c*ck = duck
• toot = cute
• tank ooh = thank you
• peez = please
• pretty = barrette/hair clip
• picket = blanket
• Elsies = elephant
• Ell-nee = Ellen
