To tell you each day that I love you
From the sweet things you do, to the silly things you say
I will tell you that I love you everyday." - Love, your Mama.

Your Words

July 16th 2013,
Leon,
       Over the past few months your vocabulary has really taken off. You are learning new words and phrases everyday! Sometimes you don't pronounce words correctly, or you make up your own words entirely. I thought I would take a moment and list some of my favorite "Leonisms."
 
  • Wee-oo wee-oo: This is the word you use to describe any and all emergency vehicles, fire trucks being your favorite.
  •  Frog: I won't write the way you pronounce this word, as it comes out completely wrong and inappropriate. You don't say "R's" very well yet, and your "G's" have more of a "K" sound...I think we should just avoid using this word for now.
  • You have always put "A" infont of everything you say. "A mommy, a daddy, a mine..etc."
  • Cold-cold: Your word for popsicle. Not sure how you came up with that one, but it makes sense.
  • Meez: This is how you say "please".
  • I ya you: This is how you say "I love you." You always sign it when you say it as well. "L's" seem really hard for you to say, so they come out sounding like a "Y" instead.
These are only a few examples of "Leon-speak." I love all of your silly words as you are learning to speak, even when I have no idea what you are trying to say. It is always fun to watch you learn and grow. I love you Leon!
 
~Love, your Mama
