What did you just say?

By Goddess in Progress ·   June 16th, 2009

I’ve mentioned before that Daniel is very, very verbal. As in repeats everything you say, narrates his entire day, and generally does not stop talking. In many cases, his pronunciation is pretty decent for a not-yet-two-year-old, but there are of course some quirks. In fact, I’m sort of sad that he’s starting to correctly pronounce “blanket” instead of always saying “bacon.”

This morning, I asked them what kind of fruit they wanted for breakfast. He requested bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. Banana is the pretty standard toddler version, “na-na.” Strawberries is pretty darn close to correct at “stwaw-bees.” Blueberries is similarly well done. Except that… well…. the fact that his “L” isn’t very good… plus saying “bees” instead of “berries”…

“boo-bees!”

You want what for breakfast?!

“mo boo-bees!”

And this from the baby who could never figure out how to latch.

    Hahahaha! That’s so hilarious.

    Pretty good pronunciation efforts, though! Jack just says “Behhhh” for anything that ends in “berries.” There are a handful of words he pronounces correctly, “pepper” (go figure) and “cock” (don’t ask) being two of them. Oh, and “oops.” That one is pretty cute.

    OK, off to catch up on your other recent posts!

    LOL.

    “Stick” sounds like “dick” around here. Oh, and my office building, the clock tower is “Mommy’s work with the cock on it.” *sigh*

    Awesome.

    We use pe.nis to describe male anatomy and when Nate says it, it sounds like “peanuts”. So at school they repeat it to him as “peanuts”! I had to tell them we use proper words.

    Ha, ha. What is with little boys full of works, talking, talking constantly. My nephew Finn is the same way. I hope the prattle is usually fun and happy and not whining!
