This entry goes along with the funny things kids say. You know how most kids who don't want to be in bed will come up with excuses why they need to be up a little longer? "I'm not tired." "I'm thirsty/hungry." "I want different pj's on." We all know the stall tactics. Well, Ginny's started to pull this routine once again, but rather than use an excuse, she just calls out, "I don't want to be in bed!" while she's lying there over and over until you acknowledge it. Hey, at least she's honest. :)
The other thing I've found funny with her this week is how hard she's trying to say things right. She's been having trouble saying R's like most kids her age, and I guess she's tired of being corrected by older sibs about it. So, instead of the "er" sound, the closest she gets is the L sound. She sounds like a Chinaman learning to speak English with a southern accent. So, insert and "ell" where there should be and "er" and we've got some pretty crazy sentences coming out. "One, two, flee--let's go!" "I blushed my teef!" "I can't leach it." "I'm like a bleedo (burrito)!"
The even funnier thing is that Aviendha's imitating her speech pattterns and changing some of her already correctly pronounced words to the way that Ginny's saying it. Let's hope that Ginny gets the hang of it before Ne-ne has the words down incorrectly! :)
