When one-syllable words become two-syllable words…
23rd October 2008
When one-syllable words become two-syllable words… then you know you’re raising a Southerner. Josiah’s picking up a sweet Southern drawl in his words. Da-own, ha-elp!, ya-es. And just this morning, I heard him say, “A-owch, you hur mah ha-ed!” (Ouch, you hurt my head!)
Honestly, though, both Analise and Josiah have stronger Southern accents than Brian and I. Not sure why or how that happened, but I do have to occassionally toss out my word of correction in… “No dear, it’s town. Not ta-own. TOWN. Say it with me!”

Ha ha! So cute & I was just saying the other day that MG has an Italian accent, “Moon-a” for Moon, “Food-da” for Food. Crazy kids!
