I mourn a little when they begin to pronounce them correctly, it's a
signpost along the road leaving childhood.
The first time we went driving to see Christmas lights Jonathan was 2. We
engaged in the usual "Ooooo's and ahhhh's" and headed for home. He asked if
we could go see more "Ooo-ahh's" which is what they have been called ever
since in this house.
Last year I suggested we go look at the "Ooo-ahh's" and he announced with a
look of disgust, "They are called Christmas lights!". *sigh*

I know exactly what you mean about it being a little sad. When Sierra was
very small, she called Joseph, Joe Fiss. Then when she got a little older,
she called him Joe Eff. It was cute and his name stayed that for quite
awhile. We mourned the Joe Fiss part but it was still cute. Then one day she
called him Joseph and Tara and I both looked at each other and gave out a
big loud ohhhh at the same time. It was sad for us!

I'm in a bit of a quandry right now. I chose to be called Granna because
that was what we called my maternal grandmother. (My oldest cousin couldn't
say grandma.) My grandson can't manage Granna yet and calls me Ya Ya, which
I love. (I just found out it means Grandma in Greek.) Now I can't decide
whether to have everyone keep calling me Granna, which would mean he will
also call me that soon, or to keep Ya Ya. Big decision coming up soon. <g>

Awwww. That reminds me.... my DS asked for Love Me juice a few months
ago and we could not figure out what in the
world he was talking about. He went to the fridge and grabbed a bottle
of CranPeach juice and said, "THIS is Love Me
juice." It took a little while to make the connection, but when we did
it was so cute.
DH had gone to the store and he brought back my favorite kind of juice
and when I pulled it out of the bag
I said (a la Sally Fields), "You love me! You really love me!" Hence,
"Love Me" juice. We're still calling it that. :)

From: "Mary" <mummy124@...>
She was talking a lot by a year old, and she called him that until 2 or so.
Man was I bummed when one day she came out with "Mackenzie". I can still
remember this tiny imperious one year old saying "You no touch my horsie,
GEEGAW!". She had a bunch of cute ones. On her one year old birthday, I
asked her what she wanted to eat and she yelled "Blue-bahs!" (blueberries).
I remember she used to call grapes "beeps". When she was an infant, we took
her to an italian restaurant and it was decorated with artificial grapevines
with plastic grapes. She kept screaming "beeps! Beeps! BEEPS!" and reaching
for them. She just didn't understand that she couldn't eat them, she was so
little and they looked so real.
Mackenzie still has a couple that I will be sad when they go away. He says
"usually" instead of "especially". So he'll say "I'd like to go to the park
today, usually if my friends are going to be there." Just this year he
started saying "hospital" instead of "hostable" and a few others.
Blue Skies!

When Isaac was about 3 he wanted to go next door to swim in my brother's pool. It was a rainy day complete with thunder and lightning so I explained how it wouldn't be safe to go swimming. He responded that it would be o.k. since Uncle Frank's pool "has a screensaver" (screened in)
Another one I remember was when someone asked me what size clothes Isaac wore (for gift purposes) I said he was in a size 4 to 5. After that, whenever someone commented on how big he was getting he would say "yeah, cuz I'm fortified"

When Abbie was born, Jason was eight, and as soon as she could walk,
big brother played with her, HIS version of play. She learned to
wrassle long before she ever heard of dolls. And she got to
be "Webigail" when he and his buds would play Duck Tails. One girl,
four boys, horsing around between our house and their house.
Okay, so, when she was I guess six or seven, something happened where
she got whacked in the crotch. She grabbed herself, her eyes got
huge, and she hollered as loud as she could "Oooohhhh! Right in the
