In addition to his letter pronunciation, he also has some other unique phrases. Here is a little guide in case you find yourself confused during a conversation with him:
Last Day
Translation: Yesterday. The day before yesterday. Last week. Last month. Last year. 5 minutes ago. It really means any time other than the present.
Example: Last day we went to Disney World. Also, last day, I ate breakfast.
Sweeps
Translation: To sleep. Sleep. Sleeping.
Example: I have to get a good sweeps so I can play later.
Bonus example: his use of this phrase in his favorite song, One Republic's "Counting Stars"...."Lately I've been, I've been woosing (losing) sweeps"
Well, I didn't see that one coming.
Translation: straight-forward translation. He actually uses this in context, I just wanted to include it because I think it's funny coming out of such a tiny human.
Example: The other day, he picked up a box that had puzzle pieces in it and some spilled out onto the floor; his response was, "Well...I didn't see that one coming!"
Beesanya
Translation: Lasagna
Example: This beesanya is really good, can I have more?
Wuv
Translation: love
Example: I wuv you, mommy. (as you can guess, this one is my favorite!)

Ah, Claire (or should I say 'Care') is in the same boat ;) Gumraffe is giraffe. Manayno is potato, etc. My personal fave came a couple days ago. She did a kids yoga session from on demand and at the end they talk about saying 'namaste'. She very sweetly looks at me and says 'mamasteak, mama' :) Love it!
I loved the "Well I didn't see that coming" quote. :) I try hard not to constantly correct mispronunciations...I figure they'll learn how to say things correctly before college. Last summer, Sophia would call her bathing suit "babysuit". I was so sad when she gave it up this summer in favor of the correct pronunciation.
"Last day" is the same for us. There are so many things. I was sad when C gave up orange- it.p for the more basic orange.
