Kallie has had this thing lately about pronouncing words properly. It's nothing I said or did--but just her own little "self-improvement" area for the week. I has actually been somewhat entertaining listening to her practice certain words that she has finally realized she hasn't been saying right.
So, today, Kallie was climbing on the piano bench to sit and play for a while. When she finally got up, she realized that she had pushed the bench too close to the piano. She hopped off and started to move the bench. As she was pushing the bench to a better location, she said, "The bench is too close to the pee....peee...Oh! I can't say the right word!" Listening to this whole thing, I said, "Piano?" and Kallie goes "Pee-MAN-oh" and I repeated, "Piano." Kallie, with an air of determination said, "Pee-AAAA-noh!" Then, as soon as she realized she'd said it properly, she called, "Mom I said the right word!"
I have to admit, I'm a little sad that she's starting to say words the right way. I guess Whitney needs to start talking in preparation to take the "mispronouncing words in a really cute way" hand-me-down that her sister is ready to give up.

Kallie talks so much! It is so cute and yet so sad to see them grow up. I love your festive blog decor by the way. You are so creative.
I love this! The perfectionism. She is so your little girl! You are always pronouncing words like perfectly. Especially the word "exactly". I don't think I know a better announciator!
how do you spell that word? it's too late for me to try another way.. You probably know it. :)
I agree, there is something sad and melancholy about little kids and correct wording. I think she's a doll for wanting to get Pee-man-o right! Too cute!
