Grammer according to a 4 year old

It's always fun when your kids (and yes I'm saying kids, I know it means baby goats, but children sounds too formal so just bear with me) start to talk. One of my favorite things is when they start to add endings to words whether they need it or not. Kids will know the word is different, yet they don't know how to say it correctly so they'll add, for example, an 'ed' sound or an 'es' sound. It's amazing how they can pick up on that change on their very own. Here are some of my favorites from Jonah...

"Mom, we can go by our self-es."
"I got two knife-es!"
"Mom, you're the best-est mom ever."
"I think that one is good-er."
"Mom do you know how older I am? 14!"
"I burp-ed." (said with two syllables)
I'm all grow-ed up."
"I catch-ed it!"

And did I mention Jonah is a big help with his baby sister? Well he is. See for yourselves or as Jonah would say, yourself-es.





In case you're wondering, no I didn't tell him to pick Ava's nose. They were sitting next to each other on the couch looking cute so I thought I'd get the camera and this is what I found. Jonah engrossed in his favorite TV show, Scooby Doo, and all the while helping Ava get the fuzzies (as Jonah calls them) out of her nose. What's crazy is she let him do it. If I were to try she'd scream and fuss. She obviously had quite a few "fuzzies" because there was quite a bit of picking. OH, and don't ask what Jonah did with the "fuzzies" just know I had the vaccum cleaner out after he was done. ;)
