Watch Your Language!

The girls are talking more all the time.  They babble to themselves, they babble to each other, and they mimic everything that comes out of our mouths.  However, they are still missing some very important consonant sounds.  It's cute.  I'm not worried that one day they won't be able to enunciate a 't' from a 'p' sound, or an 'l' from a 'y'...but today, it is just not in their skill set.

I have admitted before that I am a "Friends" junkie.  I love them...they are my friends...I never tire of the reruns.  So, immediately upon trying to work on phonics with the girls a specific episode came to mind.  Maybe you know it, maybe you don't....

Here's how it plays out at our house.  Baby Girl says, "yyyyight on".  Momma says, "Baby, look at Momma's mouth - la, la, la, light on."  Baby Girl says, "ya, ya, ya yyyyight on!" and then claps for herself.  Baby Girl says, "soat peeese".  Momma says, "Baby, look at my mouth - pa, pa, pa soap please."  Baby Girl says, "pa, pa, pa soat peeeese" and then jumps up and down, so proud.

I feel ya, Phoebe...I feel ya!

Love,
Glad I'm not a Teacher,
Momma
