I was reminded of a story from my childhood this morning. Gavin asked me when Brynn's Car-Cool was coming. I have told him many times that it is Carpool, but he still calls it Carcool. It makes me smile. All my kids say words that are a little off and they are so cute.
I remember when I was little I used to pronounce caterpillar as calli-pitter. Everyone who heard me would laugh and I didn't understand why. They would pronounce caterpillar to me and I would say, "That is what I said!"
As much as I want my kids to say the right words, I really don't want to change their made up words. They make me smile and are a fun part of childhood. They will eventually figure it out, just like I did (Though I had to look up in the dictionary how to spell caterpillar. Bad spelling I will probably never grow out of).

I love the things kids say. At our house spiderman is speederman and batman is fatman.
yea, i suck at spelling too my teacher said at PTC that i spell like a 4th grader. i was pretty sad. from, Madee (jens kid)
Shay use to say girlir for girl. Until she spent the weekend with my mother in law and now she says girl. I was sad! So I am with you!
The spelling thing must come from mom none of us can spell. Some of those "kid" words I'm still figuring out I say weird. Like instead of Polish sausage I say polar sausage, everytime I just can't stop it before it comes out. Mikey always just smiles at me.
Kids say the darndest things. I love that.
