Understanding Ella

Ella is talking a lot these days. Some things she says are easy to understand, while other words or phrases she says can be a little confusing. Here is a mini-guide to understanding what Ella is saying:

go-gos = overalls

shoon = spoon

up here = I want to sit on the counter

my = mine (and this applies to pretty much everything)

oh no fall = either she fell or she dropped something

Moo = our friend Miriam who lives across the street and whom Ella adores

super Ella = she is standing on something and quite impressed with herself

Mama super / Dada super = she would like either Mama or Dada to stand on whatever she is standing on and say "super Mama/ super Dada"

midifier on = turn the humidifier on

jammies ott = take my pyjamas off

oh no, soupy = the floor is slippery

garbage, it's garbage = she is about to put something in the garbage (be sure to examine what she is going to discard because it isn't always garbage)

baby jumpa jumpa = put Juju in the jolly jumper

baby nap = I want all of the attention and Juliette should be napping
