"Out of the mouths of Babes"

Tyler has a great vocabulary for a 3 year old. There are a few words though that have been 'his' words for things. For example, he REALLY likes poppyseed muffins - in fact, that is all he eats for breakfast. Anyway, he would call them 'fumpins', this was really cute, and it took a LONG time to get him to say muffin. Now he says it correctly. Recently, he has started asking for 'keanut butter' sanwiches - yes, that is sanwich, not sandwich, and keanut, not peanut. He used to say it correctly, but gives a little smile just prior to saying it - he knows he's pushing my buttons!

The ultimate though, came tonight. He has an old set of "marble works" - we got these at a garage sale a year ago, and Ty absolutely loves them! Well, tonight he asked to play them as we were walking through the garage on our way into the house. I told him he could play, so while Tim was cooking dinner and I was feeding Zach, Ty was all about the marbles. When I actually took a second to listen to him, I realized that he wasn't saying marbles, instead he was saying "marlboros" - Ummm when can I get him into preschool?!! Wait, scratch that idea, I don't want his friend's parents thinking that we let him smoke at the age of 3.
