Keisha's Lexicon

Keisha, my five-year old daughter, has her own words for some things. They are obviously a by-product of her age and the way her speech has developed as a result of her hearing loss. Still, I find it all very cute! (Sappy Dad moment to follow...)

So, here are a couple entries in Keisha's lexicon:

• "Hopper Copper" = helicopter
• "Hockey Pockey" = Walkie Talkie

Additionally, she loves watching PBS Kids, where she gets to watch "Clifford the Big Red Dog". You may be aware that Clifford's owner is Emily Elizabeth, but Keisha knows her as "Emily Ebizabeth"

With more speech therapy and age, these are sure to vanish from her vocabulary. I am so happy to have captured them for now.
