If my stories about my girls bore my readers, here's yet another post to skip.Catherine's starting to work on three-syllable words. "Banama" is one of her favorites.
She's just a beginner at speaking these difficult words, though, and I think it's hard for her to pick out fine differences in pronounciation.
So I was cueing her today with some food items on her tray, pointing to each, and exaggerating the sounds: "BanANa. ToMAYto."
With great authority, she proceeded to name each object, as if to correct my mistakes. Pointing to the banana: "Banama." Pointing to the piece of tomato: "Banama."

Yes, as in "Banama Canal".
"Charge!!!"

Your kids are lovely.You may just keep telling us their interesting things.
Aww, thanks. I'm still a new mom and I hesitate to brag on them too much, but I think they're awfully cute ... at times. :-)
Kid talk rules. :)
I like you posts about your daughters. It reminds me of how much I miss my niece.
I love your stories about the girls...don't even think of nott doing this!!!
My little had problems with "little yellow bus." i would say it very slowly, just like you did. And he would repeat, very slowly AND loudly, "WITTEL LEL-LOW BUS!"
He says it correctly now and it makes me sad.
Make sure you write these words down in their baby books or something that will be treasured forever. I still like to remember my own kids' early attempts at pronunciation. Sometimes Hubby and I use Soccer Boy's old words for "thank you" and "you're welcome" as endearing terms.
