Skylah-isms

I have seen many of these on my friends' blogs for their own children. Always a fun laugh to have and enjoy. And usually a reminder of the funny things my own little ones have abundantly blessed me with.

However, this morning I was interrupted into my peaceful scripture reading by a sweet little smile, and a mouthful of words...

Skylah~ Mom I'm hungry for lunch.

Mommy~ Don't you mean breakfast?

Skylah~ No, I don't like breakfast... I want lunch.

Mommy~ Okay, well, do you want pancakes, or something else?

Skylah~ No, I want lunch. I want a sandwich.

Mommy~ Okay, what do you want on your sandwich?

Skylah~ Hmmm... I want cheese.

Mommy~ Okay, do you want anything else on you sandwich?

Skylah~ Yes... I want... hmmmmm... manitizer.

Mommy~ Manitizer???? Do you mean, MAYONNAISE?

Skylah~ Yes, I want manaize.

Mommy~ Okay. I think I can manage that.

On top of this new one this morning, in the past we have grown to love, "Yu-elcome", which is an improvement over, "Yelcome". And I still love the awesome, "Phanks!!"

Granted, this is my 4-year-old, who usually speaks pretty clearly. However, these are the lingering "baby words" if you will allow me to say such a thing that I enjoy thoroughly!! She is indeed my baby; my youngest; my last. I am soaking up all of this like a sponge!!! (Oh, and Spellcheck hada blast with all these words!! I just had to add!!)
