Shirt

Can you see Jane's big goose egg? She had an unsuccessful meeting with the kitchen floor Saturday.

Jane is at that stage of toddlerhood where she wants to identify every thing on herself, Elliot and me, especially while we are in public.
All through the errands we run: "Eye, chin, shoe, nose, pant" and on and on.
It's adorable. Really it is. Particularly when she identifies "eyebrow."
Our only problem is that she omits the "R" in "shirt".
You see my problem. My adorable almost-2-year-old is shouting the S Word everywhere we go.
I started to correct her by replying "shi-rt", but this only resulted in her repeating after me, taking her usual form of the word without the "R".
Now we're working at it in the privacy of our own home.
In other news, I was recently burrowing my head into my little 8-month-old baby, relishing in his smell, when I noticed his breath smelled of manufactured cheese.
Odd.
Come to find out, two people in this house (of which I am not one) are feeding my 8-month-old baby Cheez-Its.
They think it's funny.

Hilarious. This is why I have no good material – I have no children to supplement my already dry imagination. You have both in spades.

I wish I could hear Jane's "shirt."

Hey, Rachel, They don't hear "r's" until they are about 4.

But I love to read your blog! What a great way to keep all the cute things your kids do. There's no way you can remember them all. . .
Love Ya, G:ma

That is so funny! My niece went through a period of time when she liked to say the word "fork" only it sounded like a much different four-letter f word when it came out. Her parents found it hilarious at home, humiliating in public.
