Vocabulary

**This is a very old post that I wrote but then never published- found it today**


Have you met Lucy recently? If yes, then you know her vocabulary and pronunciation are better than most high school senior's that you'll meet. She has a lot to say and she doesn't mispronounce much. That is why I am really trying to cherish and remember the "toddlerisms" she comes up with. One day she is mispronouncing a word, and the next she's fixed it and it's gone. Yet another sign that the baby days that became toddler times are now growing up into child days. So here's a current list of some things she says that make me smile:
Ar-fur (Arthur- a favorite cartoon of hers)
fun-der (thunder) (obviously, the TH sound is tough)
roni mac n' cheese (macaroni and cheese)
flo (floor- and for the record I think she's already fixed this one)
hop a doodle (magna doodle)
fa lu ta (flute)
it's really hot (the sun is in my eyes)
ah bah leh (abre (a spanish word that means open- she mispronounces the spanish))
alligator (elevator)
