PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Conner is on a learning new words kick again. He said, "Shoe" for me yesterday 3 or 4 times, but didn't say it after. But this morning I got his shoes and asked him, "What's this?" And to this he told me, "Shoe." He also is trying to say the word, "Naked." He only tries to say this word when we are getting him naked for his bath and tell him he has to be naked to get a bath. He's also trying to say, "Sit," but it sounds like "Shit." So, we're working with him to speak more clearly. I know he means sit because of when he says it. Plus, we don't curse around him a lot. We make a huge effort to watch our language around him, especially since he is learning to talk and we don't want him repeating rubbish. Of course no one is perfect and there is a slip of the tongue from time to time. When that happens one of tells the other about language and typically that's enough to cease the slip up.
