Favorite words

I love how Aidan talks and always have.  I've always had a thing about not correcting the words he says wrong because it will be all too soon that he says them correctly.  Over the years he has changed the way he says many thing but I do have some favorites that I'd like to remember so I'm making a list.

"Octover"
"smooky" = spooky
"retember" = pretend

Things he has said correctly for a while but fun to remember:
"tynastics" = gymnastics
"tops" = Triceratops
"rocketshit" = rocketship and brachiosaurus, lol  (he was 18 months and those were the two big words he knew)
"plates on its back" = Stegosaurus (18 months)
"kegosaurus" = Stegosaurus around 2 - 2.5 years old
"f*ck" = black - we have no idea where that came from, eventually it turned into "flack"
"God" = dog - seeing a black dog was not a good thing when he was around 16 months old

/sh/

Last week Thursday I was online looking for new shoes for Aidan and Isabella was all about the shoes.  She does love them but this time she was making the same sound over and over.  /shz/  I realized she was trying to say shoes.  She is trying very hard!

Today we went to Petsmart to get out of the house and do something.  Both kids loved watching the dogs get haircuts and there was the sweetest cat that they enjoyed watching.  I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, the cat or the kids but it was a good time.  Isabella barks at all animals, "oof oof".  But today, she barked at most and then said, "sh" as she pointed to the fish.  So she officially has mastered a new sound and is using it appropriately.  Very exciting that the "mute baby" is starting to make meaningful sounds.
