"Meowy"...and other words

Audrey is obsessed with cats.  Especially our cat, Scarlet.  She calls our kitty and all kitties, "meowy".  Corey took the girls out to dinner the other night so I could host a few girlfriends at our house and they went to the neighborhood diner known for housing the balloon guy that can create anything.  Natalie asked for a ballerina (which he made her but I neglected to get a picture of it early on and the it's lost so much air it  looks like she's been on a dancer diet) and Audrey asked for a "meowy". 

This is her balloon kitty.  She loved it.  She snuggled it like no balloon animal should ever be snuggled.  At one point it came apart in two, still fully inflated pieces and she snuggled each end separately.  We finally had to toss it when she wasn't looking.


But she's saying a little collection of words now, other than meowy. She often needs an interpreter, however, but big sis is always up to the task when we're not in earshot. Some of the cute ones:

"awright":  all right
"me do" :  I want to do it MYSELF
"choose":  shoes
"wish": fish
"top it":  stop it!"
"I na know":  I don't know
"hoj":  orange
"woo hoo":  dog
"wa wa":  water
"hi": phone
"wash":  I want to wash my hands
"teed":  I want to brush my teeth
"yup":  yes
"play":  play, of course. 
But this is funny...when she's clingy or constantly underfoot, I'll say, "Audrey, go play" while pointing to  a toy or activity across the room.  The other day I caught her with something she shouldn't have and she pointed across the room and said, "Mommy, play!" meaning leave me alone with this thing I'm not supposed to have, please!
