Mispronunciations

can be very amusing.

Hannah calls cupboards "covereds." This is amusing, because there is a lot of truth to this name -- things in cupboards are covered by the doors. Thank goodness, in many cases!

Naomi, when she feels she needs food, tells us that she's "hungee."

Naomi, when she wants us to pick her up and take her somewhere, says she wants us to "caaaaaaahhh" her. One syllable. Not carry, "caaaaahhhh." Which is odd, because she can easily pronounce Aunt Kerri. But maybe the spelling makes a difference. ;)

Simeon mispronounces pretty much everything. When he wants to say Mama (which, of course, is what he always wants to say :) ), he says, "Oooogoo." Well, that's pretty much what he says when he wants to say anything. Except, "I'm angry." That sounds more like "waaah."
