We love when the little ones are still young enough to not yet speak perfectly. It's a constant battle to teaching them or letting them linger a little while in the imperfection of speaking. For example, his little musical octopus with songs, and 'circle,' 'square,' 'triangle,' and 'star' is currently "Octpeeus". I love it!
Little by little words start as one thing and then form to the real word. We're so happy when they learn to say the word correctly, but I won't lie...I love the made up words. It doesn't last long. They're sponges - they're smart - they learn and form words quickly. At least my kids do...they're constantly around talking parents! So when he says "snack" and then quickly correctly says, "snap" as we dress him, he's thrilled as am I that he got the "p" sound. But I thought "snack" was cute.
My other recent favorite is "edemame" is "oh me oh my."
His "Hand Hand Finger Thumb" book is "tum tum".
His "Oh my, Oh my, Oh dinosaur" book is "Oh my Oh my book."
His "Go Dog, Go" book is "Go Go."
Katherine is "sis, sis" - and sometimes he says it with much VERVE! He loves to play with her - it's amazing how well they get along at 2 and 6. It warms my heart when I hear them running around together!
