Conversations with Zoie

Last night, Zoie was looking at her Princesses flash cards. She ignored all the other cards - the opposites, simple words, letters and numbers but was looking at all her princess cards. She was naming all of the princesses - Jasmine, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Ariel. To my surprise, she knew the names of most of their prince partners as well.

Mama: What are the names of these princesses?
Zoie: Belle, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Princess Jasmine!
Mama: Galing ah! and princess...
Zoie: Zoie!
Mama: That's King Tatay (pointing at the sleeping Adrian) and I'm Queen Mama
Zoie: King Tatay? (laughs) a yutiful (Beautiful) castle, a yutiful house and a yutiful farm. (while looking around our small room)
(Honestly, I don't know where she gets all these.)
Mama: B. Beeeaaauuuutiful
Zoie: B? B-ful. Ay, mali. (laughs) yutiful na lang? Mama, gusto mo ah pasok yutiful castle?
Mama: Okay. Saan, baby, yung beautiful castle?
Zoie: Ah... wala eh. (inaasar lang yata ako)
Mama: Ngek!
(zoie goes to the window, sees other building)
Zoie: Ayun! Yutiful castle.
Mama: Psst. Gabi na wag ka na sisilip diyan.
Zoie: Ah, yutiful farm na lang. Old matdonald had a farm. On this farm he had a cow and a boo boo bear... everywhere a boo boo ( i think she meant Moo)
Mama: Hay naku, baduday, matulog ka na nga lang.
Zoie: Pinklang dede. (timplang dede)
