Sydney’s language skills have exploded lately and she’s so expressive these days, I love it! Sure, I don’t quite understand about 25% of what she says, but it’s still so insanely cute that it doesn’t even matter. Plus, I know that I’ll be able to understand her fully soon enough and one day will probably wish that I didn’t understand *all* the words that come out of her mouth.
Right now, though, I want to relish in and record the preciousness of her vocabulary and pronunciation. In particular, there are those words that she slightly mispronounces or has a slightly different version of from the actual word. I know the experts advise us parents to repeat them back to our children in the correct pronunciation, but most of the time, I’m getting such a kick out of her toddler-pronunciation that I can’t bear to correct her.
Orange = “oranges”
Twinkle (as in “twinkle, twinkle, little star”) = “crinkle”
Paci = “faci”
Mermaid = “wormee”
