bean's "big" words & "name of today"

a couple of days ago, a mum at playgroup told me that the bean knows some big words as she had used the word "decorate" whilst playing at the sandpit.

it set me to wonder at what big words the bean does know. so here're some words and terms she's recently uttered.

- troublesome: as in "troublesome trucks" from thomas & friends

- irritating: as in when i get cross and tell her that she's being irritating and she argues back and says she is not "idditating"

- annoying: ditto above

- difficult: as in "this is too difficult for me"

- suspension: as in 'suspension bridge', although it's pronounced "pension bwidge"

- configuration: as in "i don't like this train set configuwation"

arguably one of her favourite lines at the mo' is "what is the name of today?"

this is often the first thing she asks in the morning and even though she'd been told what it is, she might ask it again later on, especially when we're in the car.

this morning (sunday, 23 nov), that was the first thing she said upon waking. then she repeated my reply, "sunday. (pause) where we going today?"

me: "maybe we'll do some grocery shopping."

bean: "no. not grocery shopping."

me: "yes, we've run out of some stuff and we need vegetables, fish, tofu..."

bean: "not milk. we don't buy milk." (this is because i keep force-feeding her milk in the mornings and evenings)

me: "milk is good for you. makes you grow big and strong."

bean countered with: "i bigger girl now," as if hoping that would convince me she doesn't need any more fresh cow's milk.
