Funny things Vivien says

Vivien has been initiated into the wonderful world of Disney while we've been in UT.  She is in love with princesses.  Grandma Paula has these little board books about princesses learning good character traits and there are an abundance of plastic plates with princesses on them.  She can point out Princess Aurora, Snow White, "Cocohontas," Cinderella, "Jazamine,"  and Belle.  She's also pretty enamored with Prince Phillip.  Who isn't, really?
Disney characters have started showing up in her play.
When stuffed animals are standing on high places: "Careful Peter!"  (She says Peet-ah, like Wendy does)
Dolls are often named Tigerlily, Rapunzel, Snow White, and "Tinker"
She likes to sing "Under the Sink" and "Sha la la la la la kiss the girl!"
"I'm not a child!"
"I got twenty" and "What's the word?"
She requests the "Ariel song" often at bedtime.
We had to practice saying "mermaid" a lot.  It sounded like The Little Mormon for a long time.
While playing with play-dough, "Peetah, would you like a burrito?"

She has practiced "testimony," "sacrament," "roundabout," and "completely" a lot lately.

To Grandma Paula while planting bulbs (which she called onions) "See my feet?  They're in my shoes."

She says parasaurolophus, stegosaurus, galimimus, and tyrannosaurus rex without blinking thanks to Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones.

She's very complimentary.  To me, "I love your hair."  To Mel-Mel, "I love your bag."  To the Mosiers about their Halloween decorations, "I love this ghost."

She calls me Sabrina most of the time.  Sometimes she'll say Momma, and sometimes she'll say "Sabreen" like a nick-name of sorts.

When the ice falls into the bucket in the freezer she says, "Hear that ice in the freezer?"

She has an imaginary buffalo.  When I'm putting her to bed she'll often gasp and say "See the buffalo?" or "that's a silly buffalo."

She has a little trouble with pronouns.  She'll say to me "I carry you," when she wants to be held or "I wrap you," when she wants to be snuggled in her Silky.

She now says "uh-yeah" whenever she says yes.

"How 'bout ___"

When I tell her we need to check her diaper, she'll either say "It's Rafe," or "I'm fine."

She's very sneaky when she wants to watch a movie.  She'll get people on their own and say "I want to watch a movie."  No one can resist her charm, and since she seeks people out individually, they don't know that she's already watched 2 hours of TV that day and that Mom has said "no more!"  The other day she got 3 different people to start Peter Pan for her before mean Mom intervened.

She loves the Happy Birthday song.  She will put whoever's in the car's name in the song while we drive.

"You're ok"

"No ____.  Don't say/sing that."
