please check your pronunciation

three is one of my favorite ages in kids.  you have actual conversations and their personalities are really beginning to bud.  you never know what is going to come out of their mouths and you really begin to see all that they are absorbing.

colin was sharing a few things with me today that just made me smile-

they are not called 'pickup trucks', they are called 'hiccup trucks'--even though they never get the hiccups.  (we had an extensive dialogue about this)

the rest of us know them as 'peacocks'...those beautifully painted birds that colin loves to look for and chase down at the zoo.  they are 'pea hocks'--and don't try to convince him otherwise!

'three' is to be pronounced 'phree'  and it takes great effort to get all the L's in 'lollipop' out.

club mickey on the disney website is 'mickey club, mickey house'

i'm looking forward to what we're going to talk about tomorrow!
