Conversationing

An attempt to capture some of our daughter's oh-so-cute-and-fun-conversations:

*********************************************************************************

R: mumma (or pappa or nana or nani) - wayyyyy aaaaaaaa you?
After finding us: "oh here it is"!

:) :) :) :)!!!!

*********************************************************************************

R: ooh what's that?
Me: Brushie
R: Ruhi do it
Me: okay! Be careful, don't fall down from the stool...you'll get booboo...
R: Ruhi put gheeeeeeee, gheeeeeeee  on booboo!

The kiddo loves ghee - eating it, applying it on her lips, smothering it on her booboo's - so she is always waiting for an opportunity to lay her hands on the ghee container - HA!

*********************************************************************************

R: Ruhi is very angry
Me: why?
R: Ruhi is veryyyyy upset
Me: why?
R: Ruhi is pissed offfffffffffff
Me: why betu? what happened?
R: Ruhi is veryyyyyyy happy {and gives a smiley face} :)!

She says this throughout the day....and has learnt it from me. If she misbehaves, I tell her I'm angry or upset. I don't use pissed off in front of her, but might have said it to someone else a few times and as it goes with every toddler, she picked that up too!

*********************************************************************************

R: mumma's bum is so big big!
Me: How is Ruhi's bum?

R: Ruhi's bum is so small small!

Me: How about Rusham baby's bum?

R: Rusham baby's bum is veryyyyyyyyyyy small!

She's figured it all out :)!

*********************************************************************************

R: {playing doctor-doctor} mumma Ruhi check your ears
Me: is there a ladybug in my ear?
R: Nooooooooooo! Ruhi give mumma a shot!
Me: ouch....big booboo...it hurts!
R: soddy mumma soddy....{gives me a kissie on my booboo}....
Me: Thank you Ruhi
R: mumma Ruhi use monitor (for thermometer)
Me: what does it say?
R: Mumma is veryyyy sick! (her pretend-play thermometer has a setting for sick or healthy)
Me: oh oh mumma is sick....Ruhi give medicine!
R: Here it is (she brings an imaginary medicine and a cup of water for me)!

After her recent bout of illness where she got antibiotic injections and had several doctor visits in a row, I bought her a doctor role-play costume set and a supplies kit. She is enjoying it a lot. When she is wearing her coat and we ask her name, she says "Dr. Ruhi  {last_name} " :)!

*********************************************************************************

Her varied responses when you ask her where she wants to go:

R: Ruhi go hotsipal (for hospital)
R: Ruhi go muzuem :) (for museum)
R: Ruhi go seemeetee park (for Yosemite park)
R: Ruhi go seeming pool (for swimming pool)
R: Ruhi go laabaadee (for Library) - {cutest thing to listen to!}

*********************************************************************************

She is now tall enough to reach all the switches in the house....and it's a mammoth task trying to ask her not to keep flipping them. All day, you can find her saying:

R: Ruhi ON it
R: Ruhi OFF it
R: Ruhi tain on the light
R: Ruhi tain on the fan
R: Ruhi broke it (if she flips a switch which is not connected to anything and nothing happens)
R: Nana fix it (it seems her nana fixes whatever is broken in the house :))

*********************************************************************************

Me: Who is gogu?
R: S maamu
Me: Who is gegu?
R: Ruhi
Me: What is Rusham bhailu's new name?
R: bebu

She has come up with gegu and bebu as their funny pet names in the last week. They keep changing though....so not sure how long this will last :)!
