We have laughed an awful lot lately about the things the boys say. Emerging language is a beautiful thing and leads to some rather hilarious mispronunciations and sayings. I have been writing some down and thought I would share some of my favorites with you.
Reese is most famous for mispronunciations. He works really hard to say words the right way, it just doesn't always work out. For example if you ask Reese what he is when he's yelling, "roar!", he'll tell you that he is a 'daddysaur'. He will play in the play kitchen for hours and when I ask him what he's doing he'll tell me, "I cut nice.". The first few times he said it I thought he was telling me that he was playing nice. I later realized that nice is actually knife. He's also a real big fan of the 'quackuum'. That, my friends, would be the vacuum. :) He will also hand me his cup when I'm cleaning up from a meal and ask me to put it in the 'washdisher'. His sentence strucuture also makes him sounds a bit like a caveman. If I'm sitting on the couch he'll tell me, "Mom, I climb up. I sit by Mom." My favorite was one day when he told Noah or Aiden to stop doing something. They didn't stop. He sternly said, "3, 4, 5..time out". I normally tell them to do something or stop doing something and when they don't comply I count to 3 and then they go to time out. I guess 3, 4, 5 does the same thing.
Noah has probably the best language skills. Probably because he talks all. day. long. He's most famous for telling us it's his hungry turn or his hungry time. That means it's his turn to eat. I don't have any idea how he came up with that. One morning he was in the bathroom with me (more like every morning) and I took out my hair dryer. He asked me if I was going to "drive hair". :) Noah likes to be the big brother and will help me with Devyn often. He'll talk to her and call her "Dev". It cracks me up.
Aiden is probably the easiest to understand. He he less words that he mispronounces, but among my favorites is bayband (bandaid). He also refers to the microwave as the beep beep. Actually they all do. Aiden repeats everything. We have to be especially careful what we say around him because he will repeat it. He always likes to remind the other 2, "not boss". They are constantly telling each other what to do. Never mind they are also being naughty as they boss someone else around. I tell them that they are not the boss, which Aiden just loves to remind them.
We've decided that this is our favorite age thus far. We would love to just press pause and keep them at this age forever. It certainly comes with challenges, but they are learning so much all the time and are so much fun. We were having a "dance party" the other night after supper. A slow song came on (we had Pandora on) and they were slow dancing with me and Nate was holding up Devyn so they could slow dance with her. My eyes filled with tears because I know that a minute will pass and I'll be seeing this same scene, except at their weddings. It nearly shattered my heart. Can't they just stay little forever?
