It took awhile before my daughters kept the “r” in shirt. Oh, and pinch still sounds a lot like the b word.

When my daughter first learned the word “shoe”, it sounded like that other s-word. It didn’t help that my husband taught her to say “take a shoe.”

We’ve been getting a lot of packages in the mail recently, and a while back at dinner my daughter (Nora) pointed at her brother (Milo) and said “Milo has a big package!” We couldn’t help cracking up at that one.

The favorite at our house a few weeks ago (which thankfully has passed…) was fire truck. Unfortunately, both of our 22 month old boys pronounced it exactly like “fat f@#k.” Good times.

Both fork and frog sound nothing like a word you’d want to hear from a 21 month old in our house.

And yes, I know that at least my daughter is always listening because she repeats everything she hears. T and I definitely have to be careful about what we say, because she picked up the phrase “step off” one night when we were playing around. Thankfully she’s yet to repeat it in public.

oliver is saying “fork” a lot now. my husband thought that was sooooo funny that he taught him to say “oh, fork” which sounds just like you would imagine.

sigh.

The thing that always gets me is when my 3 year old is in the other room, and I think totally absorbed in whatever he’s playing with, until I him repeat something I just said. Usually it’s “oh, crap” or me telling one of the twins no. They are ALWAYS listening.

The one that made us gasp every single time was, from about 18-24 months, Daniel was super excited to see flags. Especially on a flagpole. To which he would shriek at the top of his lungs, “flag on a stick!” Except that he kind of dropped the “l” in flag, and “st” came out as a “d.”

It was simultaneously alarming and hilarious.

(the quote is from my blog, not memory)
Right before the boys turned 3, I was playing “dinner” with them one night. Nate took my plate away and said this:

“Mommy you were not eating so I took your plate away. You were just playing. You do not play with your food. Do you want to eat more? You can’t eat if you are going to play.”

THEY ARE LISTENING TO EVERYTHING. ha ha!

So far we haven’t heard any swear words from them but recently it’s “whatever.” To me that’s more irritating than swearing.

I’m always so entertained by your postings. I have 18 month old boy/girl twins and I also live in Houston (actually Katy…far away from downtown and also not quite as interesting, but we do have Barryhill, yum).

Our twins are just starting to explore words. They do a lot of babbling and sometimes come out with actual words. They do use a lot of signs, thanks to Baby Signing Time dvds that they like to watch while I get dinner ready. Their favorite words and sis (sister) bo (book), mo (more) and thankfully mom and dad. But my husband has gotten my son to say the words “crap” and “sex” with perfect clarity. Thanks sweetheart.
