While I'm thinking about it....

There are so many strange word pronunciations that Ethan uses or has used in his short life. I am always forgetting to document them...so here are a few:
"Vacuum" = gacuum
"Yogurt" = milgret
"Bedroom" = bejroom (this one became very obvious when he tried to use it in a paper written at school. He spelled it exactly as it sounded to him (bejrom) and then I knew I needed to help him pronounce things a bit more accurately)
"Feathers" = feders (or fedrs as he spelled it)
Really, almost anthing with the "th" sound
"Transformers, more than meets the eye"= transformers, more than zens the skies (...what?)
"Crayons" = crowns
The best part is he rarely believes us when we tell him he is saying it wrong. I guess I'll just have to wait until his teacher backs me - what she says goes:)

I like the milgret. So great. I love reading things like that it just cracks me up.

You are smart to get that down somewhere. That's the stuff that you think you'll remember forever, but soon forget.

That's cute, I always forget to write that kind of stuff down (or get it on camera) and I'm always asking Tyler "Now what's that thing they used to say"
