sennetisms
It is hard to know what Sennet means at times and I don’t mean his diction- I mean his intent so I thought I would give you a guide- just in case.
Wait for me means you better let me pass you and go ahead of you or I will throw myself down and cry and scream where I stand.
Help means I will do it myself and if you touch it I will throw myself down and cry and scream where I stand.
Asking for help a second time means- see above.
Sennet does it (or I do it) means you better know when I need help- see above.
No means yes, unless it means no.
Don’t want it means I absolutely want it especially if you plan to take it if I don’t want it.
Do it again means there is a very fine line between me laughing at your attention or crying/screaming because you are being mean to me.
I’m listening means talk all you want but I will do what I want.
Sennet help mommy means I’m listening- see above.
No nap means I am so tired and will be at my breaking point soon.
Sennet goes potty at times means where are my m&ms otherwise I will pee in my pants.
Watch Elmo means you better know if I want to watch Sesame Street or Signing Time, otherwise I will throw myself down and cry and scream where I stand.
Stop means stop means I will go wherever/whenever I want.
A few fun ones:
Reindeer means sing Rudolph.
Monkey means sing monkeys jumping on the bed.
Frog means sing five green and speckled frogs.
ABC means sing the ABC song.
Twinkle means sing Twinkle, Twinkle.
You get the picture- he has one word cues for the songs he wants you to sing. Sometimes the above can be thrown at you at record speeds and you better change tunes exactly when he wants otherwise he will throw himself down and cry and scream where he stands.
There are many others but I will let you marinate with these for a bit.
