Homonyms

When you become a parent, one title that you don't expect is "translator." Yet, that's what I've become these days as we try to understand Hailey's ever-expanding vocabulary. It's absolutely amazing how quickly she learns new words and phrases now. You tell her something once, and she'll bring it up again a few days later. It's really unbelievable.

Anyway, I was amused the other day when I realized just how hard it is to understand what she's saying sometimes because many words sound the same. Here are just a few of my favorite Hailey homonyms...

Upstairs - Octopus
I wash it - I watch it

I don't like it - I want Lion King

Remote - Nemo
Up - Down (ok they don't sound the same, but she gets them mixed up all the time)
