Pink Yabbit and White Yabbit

Listening to a child learn to talk is 

both fascinating and confusing.

It always amazes me when Piper 

will speak using words that I can't remember teaching her,

but it's the pronunciation and grammar that

bring me the most amusement.

I laugh at her every day

as she interchanges the use of I, me and my 

to describe herself. 

She will point to an object and tell me that

"that's MY'S toy",

or she'll tell me to "look at ME hair Mommy"!

She sings,

"Mary GOT a little lamb"

and 

when giving Nana her birthday present last night

she asked, "What be in it, Nana?"

What really gets me though,

is how I know she can pronounce some sounds,

but refuses to on certain words where they belong.

For example,

she won't say Yellow,

but instead says "Lellow".

Then can say RED,

but calls a rabbit a YABBIT.

If you can pronounce the "R" in red,

why not in Rabbit??

And if you can pronounce the "Y" in yabbit,

why not in Yellow??

Oh the funny things that kids say and do!
