"This" and Owen Finds a Caterpillar

"This" is the boys' favorite word these days.  We must have said it a lot for them to pick up on it. In fact, I know I do.  When they point at something I say, "You want this?"  Wonderful vocabulary building strategies are used at our home. :)

So, when the boys want something they point at it and say, "This." 

The other night Chase was playing on a skateboard with Jeff.  We were at the neighbors and it was time to go home.  I picked up Chase and he waved at the skateboard and said, "Bye this."  I had to laugh and laugh and am laughing right now.

Not only are they not using vocabulary correctly, they are also not using their /s/ correctly. It is a major frontal lisp.  Every speech therapist's nightmare!

Owen is amazed at his find-a fuzzy caterpillar!  He has to get down as close as he can to the caterpillar. 

Hi Mr. Caterpillar.

Chase gets in on the action

This is Owen's attempt at kissing the caterpillar

Oh Mom, I just love nature!
