I really wanted to do a phonetic posting of some of my favorite Asher words, but he’s at the stage where a word may come out differently every time he says it. Since he’s becoming more brave with his words, I’ve had a lot of fun asking him to repeat things like “vegetables” (he manages some 3-syllable response every time). Here are some other fun phrases he uses:
*********
Asher still says “oowie” when he’s hurt or inconvenienced, but since we’re trying to separate pain from irritation, he tends to follow it up with “hurr”.
Asher: Oowie!
Andy: Does it hurt? What hurts?
Asher: Hurr. (sadly, as he points to a tag that’s hanging off of a new shirt)
*********
“I WAHN it” and “I NEEE it” are two phrases that he uses a lot.
Asher (upon seeing a big yellow snow plow in the parking lot yesterday): Tractor!
Andy: Yeah, that’s a tractor snow plow.
Asher: I WAHN it!
Asher does not like to ride in the stroller when Titus gets to ride his bike. He gets rolled out of the porch screaming, “my tike! my tike! I WAHN it!”
I just have to hear this in person!!!! It is so funny that he picked up on those very useful phrases and has found such a variety of ways to use them. I can just imagine the “tike” frustration!
Especially after spending the weekend with him, these stories are even more funny because it’s so funny to watch it in person! And I love that he very much wanted that plow…it would have likely fit nicely in the toy box 🙂
