Cracking the Fast Language Code:)

Last week we had a great visit to the town of Elora. We hiked a few trails and had a picnic. When we were heading to the little river, Eden repeatedly kept saying, "Bah-doe, Bah-doe". I finally realized that's her word for "water". We're constantly trying to crack the language code with her. "Book" is "Book" but it also means, "Milk"! She puts an "L" in front of a few words... "Head" is "Lead" and "Uppy" is "Luppy".
Elijah and Evie have a few funny words too.. Evie says "Thinger" instead of "finger" and Elijah says, "Dis" instead of "This".



This picture was taken in Elora. I saw a guy with a fancy camera walking around so I asked him to take our picture:) We're definitely going to head back to Elora in the near future and do some more exploring, I love it there!!

  2. Great family picture! I love Nooner's language, she is so cute... I've just noticed lately that Reese says "v" for her "w" words - she sounds Swedish! Example, "Ve Vant to go outside mommy!"

  5. Haha! You're so darn cute Beth! I loved that Jasmine Star post... how awesome is that??!!
    Love Reese's swedish accent! Funny! It's cute when they're in kindergarten and you start teaching them the special sounds... like "TH" in "Thick". That's when you really started to notice the little quirks in their speech:) I was telling Lindsay and Danijel that Dom was saying, "Baf" instead of "Bath". Danijel looked so surprised, he didn't know it had a "TH" at the end either. He said he wanted to join our language class:)
