we are at the point where we can get pretty much any information out of judah that we need. at 3 and a half his english is practically fluent. i found myself telling a babysitter the other night, "if you are wondering about anything, just ask judah."

with the frustrating exception of anything relating to time (everything is "next week" or "last year") he can express himself with no trouble. his vocabulary is chock full and his pronunciation gets better every day.
rocking the mic
as fun is this is, it means that one by one, some of his adorable little language mistakes are falling away. so while we are here on the end cusp of toddler-hood, i want to record some of these little gems.
-oh-jinge: a citrus fruit with the same name as its color.
-duh-snuggable me: a cartoon starring minions.
-cord-a-boys: long winter pants that aren't jeans.
-little bit while: small unit of time. i.e. "mommy can i watch TV for just a little bit while?"

-i fink: i suppose; i'm of the opinion that...
-gank gu: i appreciate that.
-chicken a lay: the place where we get our nuggets and waffle fries.
-uncle donald's: the place where we get our happy meals
-ban-daddies: what you put on a boo-boo.
-hatchen down the sails, makees!: "batten down the hatches, mateys!"
-if he gets a spanking he always says, it bleeds, it bleeeeeds! meaning, "it stings"
-but how to do it?: how do i do it?

-(i tweeted this one but want it here too): everything is a simile everything is LIKE something else. last night i was conceding that judah's transformer toy (which jesse was in rapture over) was actually pretty cool. i said, "okay that is legit." judah replied, "yeah, mommy, it IS like a jet!"
-this is actually an extremely CORRECT turn of phrase but hearing it from a 3 year old with a chipmunk voice slays us every time: "mommy, my rocket ship is nowhere to be found!:

i want to keep adding to this list as i remember or think of more of these little artifacts of judah's little kid-dom.
i love all the things on this list so much that i refuse to correct him on them and even will pronounce them his way myself in an effort to not let him know the real way.
yikes. that came out sounding way more psycho-mommy than it feels in my heart. i promise i wont follow him on his honeymoon.
are there any adorable kiddie-language treasures that you will be/were sad to see go from your kids' vernacular?
