    I have two girls. My oldest is 3. I had to come up with things so she could best understand so I help her. Some she came up with. We use them all time. my dd ask the dr if he see the frog in her throat cause she coughing alot. Everyone thinks we are crazy especially my hubby.

    Hiccups-hippos
    A cough- a frog in the throat
    Dirty ears- monsters in the ears
    tangle hair- spiders in the hair
    big hug- squeeze you like cockroach

    Tell me I'm not the only one or any to add

    To get my kids to brush their teeth I tell them we don't want the sugar bugs making homes in their teeth so we have to brush them away and down the drain.

    I say gookies for cleaning the ears too! And when I'm helping my 4 year old wash in the tub I call his armpits "pitsy poos". I have no clue how or when it started, but it stuck! For a hug I say "snuggle buggle" lol, I probably have more too, but it's become normal speak in my house so I never really thought about it. It's cute to see what everyone else has come up with :)
