Mommy's Smart

Ella calls the remote a "me-mope" and is obsessed with chapstick, which she calls "mips." She's become quite the little pickpocket for it. She means lips, but she absolutely can't say it with an L. She can say her name and other things with L just fine, but you can say it over and over to her and she just repeats "mips." It's funny because she's usually pretty particular with how she enunciates things, but she can't seem to get these two down. We don't usually try to correct her on these things, though, because we think it's cute.

I was always very confused by another of Ella's favorite random sayings: "There's a stink in my poop." I didn't really know where she learned it, but I thought it was funny nonetheless. She said it again today and Tanner repeated it back, only he said, "There's a snake in my boot." Hmm, apparently that's what she's been meaning this whole time.
