Leo's Language, Age Two

"Beeh-bah-ba-Bah!" (Belly button)

"Ah-pah-deh" (an Octopus)

"Mema" (is Grandma)

"Murra" (sister Mira)

"Leh-oh" (his name)

"Coco-doe-doe" (a crocodile-- his favorite creature);

"Poot" (his current-favorite movie Puss in Boots)

"Doo-dow" (how he got that one from "Giraffe" we'll never know)

"Mee-munk" (Chipmunk")

"Cah-CAW!!" (any Bird, except)

"Me-mih-goh! (a Flamingo)--

"Ehdi-buhk!" (a Ladybug)

And "Muhk" is (Milk)

And "He-ah-curry-cay" is just one way he attempts to say (Helicopter)

"Bah-bye" (while flapping his wings is Butterfly)

"Bvah-trr! (Water)

"Tuhk!" (is Truck)

And "Tak-trrr!" (Tractor)

"Bah-Bye!" (like a stereotyped Italian or David Spade, is Bye-Bye, followed by a half-blown kiss);

"Mayto" (Tomato)

"Bwush teefs" (Brush teeth)



Many more, and new ones here each day, as well as self-corrections over time, all the more reason now to write these Leo-isms down, before they disappear for good.
