We've noticed it's often the person in the other room, not involved in the conversation, that can tell what LO wants most efficiently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021873 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:40:21 +0000 LuLu Mom 2021873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is actually better than me, she gets mad at me if I don't figure it out by the second time. The other day she was asking if I wanted "linguine" and I had no idea all I could get was the chicken part. Finally DH goes "she wants you to order chicken linguine" and it clicked. (she plays waitress/cook) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021869 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:37:38 +0000 SeptMomma12 2021869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. But there's one word lately that I cannot figure out. He keeps telling us he wants to go to "dalmation." It's definitely a location, but I cannot get it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021868 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:37:04 +0000 regberadaisy 2021868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: HAHA we definitely have that happen here too. DH works nights 2x a week and I'm home with her during the week as well so I definitely am around her more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021863 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:34:13 +0000 swurlygurl 2021863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say it's pretty even. We each spend equal time with her, playing and talking to her, so we know which words she's learning from us. I had no idea DH had taught her M&amp;M, so when she was asking for them I no idea what she was asking for. Also, when I put her to bed I sing her 'baby Keira's song', so when DH did it and she kept repeating 'baby', he had no idea what she wanted :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021862 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:33:57 +0000 ValentineMommy 2021862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am, by far. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021852 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:17:40 +0000 .twist. 2021852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I am. But, I am sometimes a know-it-all, too. HA.</p> <p>I still think it's hilarious how he tries to say kitty. "thikkty". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/deciphering-toddler-ese#post-2021838 Tue, 13 Jan 2015 11:13:40 +0000 regberadaisy 2021838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who's better at deciphering your toddler's words? LOL I think I'm definitely better than DH at deciphering what LO is trying to say.</p> <p>This morning took me a few minutes to decipher "construction". </p>
