Bentley-isms

I do love to hear how things sound when Bentley tries to say them. Learning toddler-ese is definitely its own skill and mothers are the closest thing to fluent that there is (although only with her own kids, of course).

So today, I was singing the Pirate theme song—“Yo ho yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!”—and Bentley joined in enthusiastically with “Ho yay ho yay!” Pretty close, I guess.

And then the other day, Bentley wanted me to sing “Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree”—but what he actually said was, “Pock porn!” What are they teaching the kids in nursery these days? A few other favorites: “pookie” means “poopy” and instead of peek-a-boo, it’s now “peeky-boo!”
