Ap-ple

Sarah has taken to calling everything Apple.  Which when she says it actually comes out Ap-ple.  Funny thing is, she doesn't even eat whole apples!  She'll eat applesauce, but she won't eat an actual apple.  This morning she busted out with Applesauce.  But just because she says it, doesn't mean she wants it.  She was having cereal and a banana for breakfast, when she looked up and said very clearly Ap-ple sauce.  So what do we do?  We go and get applesauce....  Did she eat the applesauce this morning?  Nope.  I'm sure she will later on today with her lunch or dinner, but she definitely didn't want it this morning.  But this word is said over and over and over in our house.

Me: "Sarah, do you want to go play?"
Sarah: "Ap-ple"

Me:  "Sarah, what shape is that?" (Talking about a square puzzle piece)
Sarah: "Ap-ple"

Me:  "Sarah, what are you doing?"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"

Me:  "A is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me:  "Yes! A is for apple!"
Me:  "B is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me: "No, try again!  B is for..."
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me: (points to picture of banana which she knows how to say and what it is)"What is this?"
Sarah: (turns page back, and points to apple) "Ap-ple"
Me:  "Yes, Apple!" (turns page forward) "B is for... What is this?" (whispers banana)
Sarah: (looks at me)
Me: whispers "Banana" again
Sarah: closes book, runs off "Ap-ple"

Me:  "That's a leaf"
Sarah: "Ap-ple"
Me:  "No, that's a green leaf"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple"
Me:  "You're silly! That's not an apple! It's a leaf" "Leaf"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple, ap-ple, AP-PLE!"

Me:  "Sarah, want a snack?"
Sarah:  "Ap-ple" (runs to pantry)
Me: "Okay we can have applesauce"
Sarah: "Mmmm"
Me:  "What would you like with your applesauce?"
Sarah: "Ap-ple-sauce"
Me:  "Yes! Applesauce! Would like something with your applesauce?"
Sarah:  (thinks, points to refrigerator) "Cheese"
Me:  "Okay"
(this time she was completely right :D )

Sarah:  (playing by herself) "Ap-ple, ap-ple, ap-ple, ap-ple ple ple, AP-PLE, AP-PLE, AP-PLE!"


She really can say so many things!  She is great at repeating words back to you, or suddenly busting out a new word when you least expect it.  Like she pointed to her potty, and said Oval clear as day.  Her potty actually is shaped like an oval, smart girl.  But then she goes back to saying apple.  I guess it's fun for her to say.  Just thought I'd share one of those things she's doing all the time right now.  It's cute, and she's good at saying it! Hope you're having a great day!
