Mackenzenese and Mackenzyisms!

Being that Ray and I are around Mackenzy the most, we are often translators for her.  She is quite a comedian and as her language develops she's beginning to say the darnedest things!

Example #1:  When I was reading Goodnight Moon to her at bedtime I asked her to identify the animal on the page, which was a mouse. 

Me:"Goodnight bears.  Goodnight chairs.  Goodnight little house.  Goodnight..."  Mackenzy what's that?  (as I pointed to the mouse)

Mackenzy: "MAMA!"  and she proceeded to giggle hysterically and continues to do so 3 weeks later!

Example #2:  My mom and Mackenzy often play the "what's your name game".  She knows how to say Kenzy but loves fooling everyone because she gets lots of laughs.

Mimi: What's your name?

Mackenzy: Kay (her Nana's nick name)

Mimi: That's not your name!  What's your name silly?

Mackenzy: Nomi (aka Naomi which is her friend at school) and she laughs

Mimi: Nope, try again! What's your name?

Mackenzy: J!  (what she calls my step dad) and she runs away giggling!

She also has her own was of forming sentences and she'll say things like:

• Mommy!  Poon.  Get.  Peas. (Mommy can you get the spoon)
• I get.  Right there.  Thank you! (Can you get _______ for me?  Thank you!)
• Nick Nick home.  Mimi.  (Nicholas is at Mimi's house.)
• Red. go? (Are you ready go to?)
• I want.  Pabi.  Peas?  (I want my paci please)
• Pider!  (Looking at the spiderweb outside of our house)
• Bird.  See it? Bird gone. (Do you see the bird? The bird is gone.)
• Mommy.  Honey.  Eat, eat. (Mommy, I'm hungry and I want to eat.)

And finally, Mackenzy Hates getting her hair done because that requires her to sit still.  This weekend she didn't want to take her nap, so I decided to do her hair instead.  While we were sitting there, she listened to my Ipod, drank my water, stole my lotion, and then started yawning.  Before I knew it, she had fallen asleep and was knocked out!  So being the mom that I am I took the opportunity to paint her fingernails and toenails, took a picture, and texted the picture to Daddy and Mimi, all before I actually put her in her bed.  She slept for a good 3 hours before I went to wake her up.  I guess getting your hair done is hard work!
