Translation, please???

As much as we try to understand what you're saying, sometimes we just have NO idea! You seem to have created your own little language that makes no sense to us. The following are some of the words we HAVE figured out!

dah dat = Seseme Street
pone = phone
des = drive
keck = Shreck
dis = Phylis (neighbor lady)
wah wah = water
tee tee = pretty (barrette or pony tail in her hair)
gah geet = jacket
cah dat = Carmen
doos = juice
dat do = playdough
tees = cheese
what = light
dell = bell (on her bike)
dees = please
dat doo = thank you
wav woo = love you
teet tee = blanket
duck = stuck
teet = treat (when going on the potty)
ca keet = chocolate
cah cah = candy
wok = rock
gook = book
daff = bath
daff = giraffe
dis = kiss
tees = teeth (as in brushing teeth)
po wo = pillow

You're getting too smart for us already! It's amazing how much you learn every day, and it's the little things that you pick up on that shock me the most. Some examples - how to undo a necklace, where I hid the cookies, where you left your purple tee tee (barrette), how to pedal the bike that's clearly too big for you, how to buckle yourself in the high chair, how to velcro your shoes, which clothes I've already folded (so you can knock over the pile), which side of the crib you prefer to face, and which switch is the "on" button on my sewing machine.

I fear the coming of your adolescent years. You have never been the sit-around-and-cuddle type of gal, and I think it will be difficult to know when you truly need our help/advice. I already find it hard to challenge you. You are full of determination, and your mind is an endless domain waiting to be enhanced.
