Today Coco told me a baby we know is “smackin!’”
I asked for clarification: lip smacking good?
No. Smackin’ actually means really, really cute. She went on to tell me that Harry, her cousin, who we’ll be meeting in two days, is gonna be super smackin’.
Coco asked me to get the “mote control” tonight. I wasn’t sure that’s what she had said at first so I asked her to repeat it. Sure enough: “mote control.” Mignon!
Coco uses this expression constantly.
“May you please hold my backpack?”
“May you please get me a glass of milk?”
We corrected her this week, so like a lot of her other sweet expressions it will soon be a thing of the past.
When Coco first said this to me, I thought, “what poetry, what a wordsmith this kid is.”
Today, I put on an episode of Frances for Coco to watch. Halfway through the program, I hear Frances utter the same words….and she even added what Coco does, “and I don’t even like ice cream!”
“Muy-fecto!” This is said after Coco kisses her fingers. Lots of things have been “muy-fecto” in the last 24 hours.
Tonight I was feeling a bit dejected at dinner because Coco was being a bit uncooperative. She looked over at me and said, “Mommy, why are you looking like that? You’re breaking my heart.”
Later, at bedtime, I was lying down with her because she said she was lonely and needed someone to be in her room. I always fall for this and the moment I lie down, every time, Coco gets all rambunctious. Tonight she wanted to show me her Hello Kitty music box. It’s small and red and when you open the lid, music plays and Hello Kitty spins around. She reached over to her bedside table, opened it up and said, “Hello Kitty, you’re breaking my heart you’re so cute!”
Last night while eating strawberries, Coco leaned back in her chair and said, “ah, this is the life.”
