Recently Monkey learned about Buzz Lightyear. And whenever we asked him “What does Buzz Lightyear say?”, he’d respond, “To indidnity and de da dawn!” Now he’s getting better at it and it almost sounds like “To infinity and beyond!” — although DH and I wish he wouldn’t. This is something DH and I have found ourselves saying a lot lately. It all apart of our realization that Monkey is getting older and not our little baby anymore.
Other things he mispronounces and I’m sure we’ll miss are:
“Lellow” = “Yellow”
“Mook” = “Milk” (this has been this way for a long time, I think because we don’t say milk anymore either)
“Toopon” = “tampon” (don’t ask)
And there’s others that I can’t remember now. Through the development of his speech and watching him grow so fast, I feel like any moment now he’ll be off to college. I just want to hug him and have him cradle in my arms. I know these days are numbered so I guess I’m just trying to get the most of them for now.
