Mystery Words

11 Comments

It’s funny that when your children start talking you almost automatically know what they are saying, even when everyone else is lost. Well, most of the time anyway! Recently our 2 year-old has been saying a strange word that not even I can decipher! What is this mystery word?
“Djonga”. See what I mean? As far as I can tell not close to any word I know! Plus he uses it to refer to seemingly different things each day that he uses it, just to make it that much more confusing!
D-jong-A…. One for his baby book anyway. Hopefully one day he will end the mystery for us and be able to tell us what it really is, because I really want to know!

My grand daughter is now making all sorts of words – gives a new meaning to the phrase ‘in your own words’!

I love that earnest look they have on their faces too! After about the 6th attempt (when frustration creeps in for my daughter), I pretend to know what she’s saying so that she doesn’t feel completely disillusioned. Very cute though.

And most of the time they have no idea either – it can often just be a good collection of sounds that they like 🙂
