sierra-ese

I always find it amusing, how young children seem to have their own way of interpretng the world around them. and often, have special dialects and words for things that noone else can really understand unless they spend a lot of time with them. for example, sierra has her own way to express herself, and has created a language of sierra-ese which i will attempt to document here.

"lickstick" for lipstick, as in " mommmy, can I borrow your lickstick ?"

"heart beep" for heart beat, as in, " mommy, can you hear my heart beeping ??" usually asked, by sierra after she has been running wildly in circles inside the house.

sun scream for sun scream " mommy, I need to put sunscream on, because it is very hot out today !"

shopping carpet for shopping cart as in " mommy can I push the shopping carpet ? "

and my personal favorite, she always calls children, sweeties or sweethearts, as in, she is my child, hence she is my "sweetie", when she is playing dolls, so and so is her " sweetie" , it is always used to represent a mother/child relationship, and so her friends are also their mommies " sweeties"

I will try to add more, as i remember them, their really are quite a few !
