Lauren's Words

Lauren was helping me unload the dishwasher last night. She’s gotten really good at sorting the utensils and putting them in the correct places in the drawer. Anyway, we were talking about what she had done that day at daycare and she informed me she had dug in the dirt outside.

Lauren: Momma, you know what I found in the dirt?
Rebecca: What?
L: Leaf-ezs
R: Leaves?
L: Yup.
R: They are called leaves. Not Leaf-ezs. Leaves. You try.
L: Leeaavveess?
R: Good job, that’s right.
L: Oh, okay. I found leeaveess in the dirt.

About this time, she had finished putting the utensils away.

L: Momma, I’m done. Do we have any more knife-ezs to put away?

Geez, who taught this child to talk? :)
