Favorite Phrases

Elena's language skills seem to improve daily.  I still can't get over how fast she picks up on things and how long she can retain information.  So I thought I should write down a few of the phrases we hear often:

"go that way" complete with pointing
"help please, help please" when she wants to receive help
and "helpie, helpie, helpie" when she wants to help or do it herself

"money" not actual currency, translates to "funny"

"'mon, 'mon" translates to "common, common" and interject a name and more gesturing

and also 'mon guys or 'mon Momma or 'mon Daddy

"ride the back, Momma" while she tries to spin me around by the shoulders
"rock 'n roll"
"lellow" translates as "yellow"
"I want that"
"goT iT" (T emphasized)
she also says "peas," "dank you," and "I welcome"
"watch out" or "watch out, Momma, spider/fly" and usually there is no spider or fly
"chase me, chase me"
"I know, I know, I know" -- she'll say this when she's about to make a decision like picking out a shirt

Then yesterday morning, she was chanting "school" (yes she chants sometimes) but we weren't off to school, we were off to see the doctor.  Here is our conversation:
Me: We are not going to school but for a drive. 
Elena: Beach?
Me: You want to go to the beach?
Elena: (excited) Yes, Yes!
Me: What do you like to do at the beach?
Elena: Dig
Well the conversation went on a little longer and did include going to the beach this weekend.  In this conversation I learned that Elena could remember what we did 2 months ago!  Then tonight we were playing in the back yard and cutting roses and Elena exclaims "ocean coming!"

The teachers at school can not believe how much of a chatter box she has become in the past few weeks.  I must admit it is so cute to see her singing songs and talking in conversations.
