Do you ever adopt these words into your vocabulary? In my family, "zucchini" has been "luskina" for as long as I can remember. I think I'll never call a balloon anything other than a gabloon ever again!

Thanks. I'm really rewarded if I wait for a Max photo op, rather than try to create one -- as he's so indifferent to the camera. This shot was one such reward.

We'd love to adopt his words, but I wonder if we should be modeling correct pronunciations instead. He's 4.5 years old. Anyone who's "been there" have a suggestion?

Gabloon is hard to resist saying, though.

Gemma says "baby suit" instead of "bathing suit" and I can't bring myself to correct her...it is just too cute!

You can't really go wrong with a Dr. Suess hat, but add a red guitar and it's perfection!

murn says:

I can imagine her saying baby suit, and it melts my heart.

Max has a bit of a helium voice for his age, and I love it. I'll have to get a video up to share (never have done it before, but will learn).

He chose the red one -- the alternative was black. I think he's going for a "Shaky Jake" vibe (Shaky Jake is a local legend -- an eccentric old man who plays guitar no better than a 4.5 year old).

My sister used to make up words too. "Birdies" were "boychies" for the longest time. She'd run after the sea gulls at the canal screaming "boychies! boychies! come back!".

Reminds me of the beginning of a favorite Dr. Seuss book: "The sun would not shine, it was too wet to play, so we sat in the house all that cold, cold wet day." Lovely shot! Don't worry about the pronounciation -- he'll get there! It just takes a little longer for some than others.
