The shrinking list

With the exception of an atrocious Jersey accent, Edith speaks pretty articulately now. Enough so that we've become fond of the handful of words she still regularly mispronounces. So I was somewhat wistful yesterday when we were walking out to that place with the swings and slides, Edith having asked to go to the payroun, and she stopped walking to tell me,

"You know, Mom, sometimes I say playground." She had gotten it.

I think that leaves just three words on the list of active Edith-isms:

1) Agibail
2) samlich (Edith prefers the peanut butter variety)

and that toddler classic,

3) lellow

Then last night we were looking at different color words in her Counting Colors book, and when she actually saw the word, she said yellow for the first time. (She recently has been sounding out the first letter of words she sees.) She stopped, thought about what she had just said, and tried to repeat it, but she couldn't: yeyow, yeeyow, lellow.

So we may get to enjoy that one awhile longer yet.
