At age four are my daughters still toddlers? I don't know, but I've dubbed some of the hilarious things they say to me as "Toddlerisms."
Me: Do you remember what the dentist said?
Sue Sue: Don't suck your thumb.
Me: OK, so please stop.
Sue Sue: But then my thumb will be cold.
Cakes: Mommy Mommy! She used the potty. She gets a sticker! (referring to a visitor)
Me: No, honey, she's a grown up. She doesn't get stickers.
Cakes: Oh.... because she pooped and she gets candy instead??
I've been working with Roo on "sm-" words (smell, smoke, smash, etc) because she tends to leave off the "s." We have some flash cards from her speech therapist.
Me: What is this?
Roo: Smile
Me: How about this?
Roo: Smash
Me: This one?
Roo: S..... little
Guess we need to work on "small."
Me: (singing "Jingle Bells") Laughing all the way... ha ha ha
Tortilla: Mommy, we don't say ha ha.
Me: It's part of the song, honey, we're just laughing, not being mean.
Tortilla: Well that's a naughty song.

I think they're called preschoolers now!
I love the "we don't say ha ha." We are working on "we don't say whatever."
I remember reading about Helen Keller and they explained what the word alone meant to her. Later, when she was going somewhere with a friend, her teacher asked if she was going A-L-O-N-E. "No," she signed back, "I'm going altwo."
Not a toddlerism, but it always struck me as funny.
Preschoolers? Yeah, ok, I'll give them that label. Whatever. (Sorry, just had to throw that in there).
Love the altwo reference.
I can't imagine how FUN it must be times 4 :)
Some days it's funnier than others.
