Awww…love this! My Emily still says “thing-gers” for fingers. Only a couple of years ago when she wanted to go swimming she would wear a “baby soup.” I still wish she did. Not fair she’s going to be six in March! Glad to have another blog to read. You’re welcome to visit mine!

Wonderful story! It reminds me of my mom. My brother’s twelve, now, and it breaks her heart every day to see us both. My brother sucked on a purple butterfly pacifier for years, and she only took it away once it became ridiculous. She later snipped the gummy end of the binky off and inserted a hook through one of the holes. It’s now a Christmas ornament.

Some things never get old. Unfortunately, the kids do. You poor, poor mothers. ( :

Anyway, thanks for letting us know! I was hoping to participate in your Fall Into Reading Challenge, but I’m not sure if I can. I’ll be checking in on your blog, though!

I love the name of your blog!

My 7 year-old son still says Callapitter, and I, like you, refuse to correct him, and will shoot looks at anyone who tries. He’s growing up so fast, too fast, and this is one of those small things I’m trying to hold onto, to preserve his boyhood. I even saved one of his art projects from Kindergarten that had “callapitter” written on it.

I’m new to your blog, and the name is what brought me here — it caught my eye on another site and I had to check it out. You’re stuck with me now!

That is adorable. My five year old still says “Mazagine” and I can’t bring myself to correct her. She did used to say “Cowpiller” but she figured out the correct way also.

I didn’t know you had a blog..it is WAY MORE AWESOME than my dinky one!
I know what you mean bout not correcting the cute ones. Before we had kids Marshall and I were at a friend’s house and after listening to them mispronounce words that their children were saying we made a vow to NEVER do that. That is until Tyler started to say mo-mo-di-dle (motorcycle). Alas he too finally got
it right but that is a word that I will never forget.
Do you mind if I put a link to your blog on mine?
Hope you are well. L-Sarah
