Lilia-isms

Lilia keeps us laughing around here. Her personality emerged pretty early on as a jokester who loves to make people laugh. Sometimes, when she's being serious is when she's the funniest, though. Like the Graceisms I posted about a while back, I've started recording her quirky statements, before they're lost to our memories...We always joke about how LOW Lilia's voice is! Grace has a high-pitched tone, but Lilia is very low. It's funny to hear them talking to each other: Big one squeeking away; little one so husky!

These are all from the ages of 20 months to just turned 2 years (she's pretty verbal, so I've written exactly as she speaks).

L to kindly passer by: "Hi Man."

Man: "Hi."

L: "These are my keys."

Man: "Are you going to drive home?"

L: "Yes. Bye, honey.... Mummy! Da man talk to ME!"

L to mummy: "Mummy, don't eat my cheek."

Mum: "Is that your cell phone, Lilia?"

L: "Yes. Lilly gave me."

Mum: For your birthday?"

L: "Yes.... [putting phone to ear] Hi Lilly!"

L: "Mummy, I scared truck. I scared, I scared."

[Mummy hugs L]

L: "Oh, I okay now. Bye truck. Truck all gone."

L: "I took [off] my cardigan, Granny. Was too heavy on my tummy."

Mum: "Look at the colors."

L: "Ooooooh. It's wonnerful, it's wonnerful."

L: [singing] "Ameeen. Ameeen. Happy birthday to you. Say Aaaaaaamen."

Grandad [on phone to Lilia]: "Have you been a good girl?"

L: "No. I been a naughty girl, Grandad. I been a naughty girl."

Me: "Lilia?"

L: "Yes, honey?"

L to Grace [who is crying]: "You okay, Grace? What hurt you?"
