My son, he’s a genius I tell ya. So genius in fact, that as we rapidly approach his 3rd birthday, he’s developing a language all his own. a language so brilliant that I’m certain it will soon be taught in college, quickly move down to part of the high school curriculum, and zip its way into elementary school. This will all take place in roughly the next 5 years.
Why do long? It takes years to develop a language yo! Even my brilliant almost-preschooler can’t full develop his language any faster.
Unless I give him a bowl full of cookie dough. That might just be enough to power him through.
Each week seems to bring new words with new meanings. These words are stringing together to for sentences. Sometimes I can even figure out what he’s saying. See, it’s like he’s learning to talk all over again. Which he is, in his own language. Because he’s brilliant.
Have I said that yet?
You, my lucky readers, get the first glimpse at this brilliant new language. Because I love you and I want to give you a head start in learning what will soon be the accepted language of every country around the world. High expectations? No, I don’t think so.
Dosh: a small ball for throwing and kicking
Tainsh: a ball
Strape: when you knock down all of the toy bowling pins
Kosh: the bowling ball, because it’s crinkie
Crinkie: wrinkled, cracked, crinkled. See also: Kosh
Pishant: roughing translated to “pushing it”. As in, “You’re pushing it young man!” Wonder where he heard that one.
Queshment: Toy Story
Simpawatch: sock {or lack there of}
See what I mean? Brilliant.
What brilliant things are your kids saying lately?

The kid IS brilliant! He’s written his own language!
You’ll be so glad you’ve written this stuff down. You’d never think you’d forget those things, but you will. I find myself remembering cute stuff but I can’t remember which kid the cute stuff belongs to.
That’s exactly why I started blogging, you forgot this stuff too quickly.
LOL! That is so cute.
My son used to say “BACK-ah-DEE-nah” for vacuum cleaner.
Positively, absolutely brilliant!
Let’s see . . . um . . . my 18 month old said “tee tee” today. . .which is what most people call “pee pee.”
That’s about all the brilliance we’ve got.
He is the cutest little thing! Seriously. I would speak his language any day of the week. LOVE your pictures. Adorable to the max!
Some of those I could’ve translated, but the rest are brand new. All you need are some connecting words and he’ll be set. Love those big beautiful eyes and chubby little feet!
He’s moved on to creating entire sentences with his made up words now. All of the words are made up! Good thing he can also speak English well, or we’d be in trouble.
A very awesome post! I should write one of my son’s new language. It’s so funny what the kiddos come up with. My favorite is when he tells me a story that is pure gibberish and I respond “ok” and he acts like that’s what he expected. My hubby is teaching my 2.5 year old the different models of his cars (the important stuff right?) and my sons calls the mustang a mustatang. He also says the Nomad as if he’s saying No Man. Happy Wordish Wednesday!
Isn’t that funny! It’s like they think you totally understood what they were saying.
I just adore “kid speak”. I wish we could incorporate their versions of words into the dictionary!
I LOVE IT! I love it and I can so relate even though G is a little younger than your little guy he has his own language too. I usually just nod and say yes= that is exactly what that door is- it is a tosher???????? What??????? I love the pics. Can you come to my house and follow us around and just take pics of my family. That would be great- just hop your prego self on the next flight and I will see you in a bit!
Oh and I just posted my mardi-gras king cake today. It took me two attempts but the result was great. Going to link it up on your sweet tooth link friday and remind me if I forget- like i always seem to do!
Did you remember to link up today???
Oh my, he is so cute! Yes, definitely toddlers are all genius. haha… I missed those days alot. My kids are already teenagers. Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re having a great day and fabulous time.
Blessings, Kristy
I’m simpawatch right now.
Aren’t we all?
What cute words! I hope he learns the real ones soon.
Visit The Zoo for my WW.

I should clarify, he does know the real words too. He’s almost 3 and talks like a 5 year old. He just started inventing his own words for fun!
my kid wants to know if he can touch my boobies. i think i’d rather “crinkie”
Yea, I’d crinkie too.
He IS brilliant! And cute!
I can see his brilliance shining through!
He’s a cutie, that’s for sure!
So cute and brilliant! Loved his words. Short, sweet and to the point.
Kids crack me up!
