That’s Cool, Mama

Have I posted about Zibby’s made up words?

She uses two made up words that both mean “other”. One is “tata” and one is “rawga”.
Ex. Tata booby (when nursing), or “no, rawga book”

She had a word that sounds like “aye pinch ooba” but it turns out that it might have been her version of happy birthday.

Another doozy was “too-ey dumps” which we found out means “toe thumbs” which means, “big toe”. Of course, toe thumbs are the big toe. Duh. What else would they be called?

Her new sayings are “that’s cool”, “oh, goodness”, and “oh man”. And, “stop that mama”, “no, no stop that”

She also likes to say “Right back” and “right dere” (which is Chicago-ese for right there”) and “two minutes”.
For instance, I will be playing with her on the floor. She gets up and goes towards the hallway, turns back to me and says “Right back, mama, Right back”. and I say, “ok”.
Then she tells me to “stay dere”. I ask for how long.
“Two minutes”, she says.

And the hand gestures, did I mention those? Its hilarious. She talks with her hands. She gives us the “hand”. She does a crazy dance called the crazy dance, in which she bobbles her head around and sticks one leg out to the side. She loves silly walks and practices several during the day. She and Buzz dance together all the time.

Sometimes she gets up and hangs out with Buzz in the morning before he leaves for work. When he says he has to go, she says, “No, play blocks”. He says, “I have to go to work”. She says, “Two minutes?”

Another thing she does is, if she hears you tell a story about her, she giggles and says “you talking bout me”. Its clear that she enjoys it.

I about crack up when she says, Thats cool, Mama.
It is though. Its all cool.
