Mary Beth came home from school so excited! She got a medal yesterday for being able to say her birthday, address, and phone number. She has known her b-day for a while, but we have been drilling the others for a week. Many times when I would ask her to say her birthday, she would put her lips to one side and say, "Awwwwwww-gist tuh-way-ulth!" She loves saying August 12th "like a redneck"! She also does it with her teen numbers. It is hilarious! Anyway, when she got in the car, I asked her if she said her birthday like a redneck. She said, "No. I said it like a woman." So funny!
Mary Beth says several things in a funny way, and I know pretty soon, these will slip into the correct pronunciation. I want to remember a few of them:
"tennis shoe" - tissue
"breaktist"- breakfast
"tub tub"- bath
"splend it"- stir it. I stir lots of Splenda in my coffee, so she likes to "splend" sugar in her oatmeal!
"caffeiner"- a drink at Starbucks!
"valance"- what she does in ballet (balance)
She also loves using Fancy Nancy words, and will say "Merci" for thank you, and she says that I am her "Chauffeur".
That's all for now....
Au Revoir!
