A's words - montessori edition

now that A is going to montessori, her mallu words are going soon, replaced with english ones. We got an early intervention assessment done, and they said she was back by about 6 months, but that's probably because english is new to her. anyway here're some of her words:

* go'wway = go away
* staappit = stop it
* cue-say , plis? this is what she says when she wants something. it sounds like "can you say, please?" but it means "can you give me , please?"
* kinna = can I? this seems to be her version of "can i have ". So for chocalate, she'd say: "kinna chacklit?"
* i sleepy = i am sleepy. This started out as "I fweepy" which was really cute ;)
* i stuck it = i am stuck. usually happens when she's got herself into a place she cant get out of, or a toy is stuck
* i don like it this = i dont like this.
* naat = not. She's recently started using this americanism which is used like so: ". not!" meaning is not true.
* gimme that = what is says
* is a my = its mine. said with a great amount of possessiveness.
