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.
