Sroggie!

Today, after a week long "vacation" camping Dani and I came home to unpack and relax before returning to our routine.  She wanted to play outside and despite the fact she needed a nap I decided to go out and play with her on her playset.  She asked for some strawberries so I left her in the backyard under the guard of the dogs and went inside to prepare some strawberries for her.  As I'm in the kitchen I hear her screaming "mommy".  I ran as fast as I could to her thinking something terrible had happened.  There she is standing on her "tower" just where I left her, now screaming in tears.  I ask her what happened and she keeps pointing upwards muttering some word I do not understand.  Finally I clearly hear her "sroggie".  This translates to "froggie".  I ask her where the frog was, thinking it must have jumped on her, but she tells me it is on her telescope, and sitting right there on the telescope is what I assume was a terrified frog.  I convinced her to edge near me and I scooped her down.  She cried for a long time telling me the story, "sitting, srog, I cry, daddy promise to fix".  Daddy wasn't home when this happened but I believe she was telling me she was going to ask daddy to get rid of the frog for her, to which I assume he would promise to do so.

In other things, when she is cranky she tells me she has the crabbies.  After she wakes from a nap she tells me she slept the crabbies out.  Sometimes I think she confuses tears for "the crabbies".  When dad is crabby she says that he needs medicine.  Not sure where she picked that one up from...but, don't we all need some medicine now and then?

Other things:
sork = fork
dancing shoes = sparkly purple mary janes
tacos and hot dogs sound the same
swim soup = swim suit
bana = banana
Her car shows = Cars 2 movie, which stems from Sunday afternoon naps in daddy's lap watching his car shows, which are literally shows about car things (rebuilding, maintaining, upgrading of cars).  So, when she found the Cars 2 movies she would simply ask for "my car shows".
