last weekend Ocean was invited to a Frozen-themed birthday party for one of the girls in his nursery class at church. he wasn't quite sure what to think about the Elsa impersonator (who was quite good).
Little kids learning to talk say the funniest things. Sometimes it makes sense when they swallow sounds or invert sounds, other times there's no rhyme or reason. And sometimes you can get them to say the word properly if you sound it out one syllable at a time, but then they mangle it again when they try it all at once (rather like the episode of Friends where Phoebe tried to teach Joey French).
Here's some recent Ocean-isms:
deh deh: pretzels, though on occasion he will say something close to pretzels. We still don't know where this one came from
nonald da-da-da duck: Donald Duck. The da-da-da preceding duck has disappeared, now it's just nonald duck
dee dee mow (rhymes with pow): Mickey Mouse
nownstairs: downstairs
woo wee: Woody from Toy Story
bee bee back ride: piggy back ride
boppits: pockets. It's always a good day when you find pockets in your pants :)
unnerhants: underpants
peenano: piano
pawhee: potty
boppie: broccoli (one of his favorite veggies, along with peas)
mall mart: Wal Mart
harget: Target
holes: Kohls
hay hay: pancakes (not the rooster on Moana)
noo nos: noodles
