At the breakfast table this morning, Abby and I were playing some word games. This started when Abby got her yogurt from the refrigerator and asked me what flavor it was.
"Boysenberry," I told her.
"Does ih haf poison ih-nit?" she asked.
"No, Abby, it's not 'poisonberry.' It's 'boysenberry'--with a 'buh' not a 'puh.'"
"Oh. 'Boy-sen-bew-wy.' Whah else stahrts wif 'buh'?" she asked.
And so the game continued. At some point, I asked, "What sound does 'teeth' start with?"
She thought for a minute and mouthed it silently: "'Tuh,'" she said. "Teef stahrts wif 'tuh.'"
"That's right!"
"And 'teef' wymes wif 'beef,'" she added.
Hmmm...I couldn't argue with that.

Too funny! As our toddler becomes more and more vocal, we're starting to get some funny stories of our own! It's so much fun to watch them learn.
