There is lots of vague language used such as "kinda", which could perhaps suggest that the child is not completely sure of what she is saying but also perhaps that she is worried about what she is expected to say and is worried about saying the wrong thing. There is also lots of repetition, such as the repetition of "well" at the start as the little girl thinks about how she is going to start what she is saying. It takes children a bit longer to gather their thoughts, which could be shown by the number of long pauses in the speech. It could also show distraction, like the little girl is paying a lot of attention to the person (presumably a parent) holding the camera. Informal language is used, because she is a child such as "guy". She also uses ellipses such as "ya" replacing the "-ou" of "you". This is also a suggestion of her accent as she is American.
There are some made up/mis-pronounced words used, such as "blowded" and "blowed" instead of "blown". This is typically of children that are developing their use of language and haven't quite grasped the correct pronunciation of words.
