Laybe

Aidan has a bit of a habit of mangling words together to give them a new meaning. When he does it, it seems to stick in his head and it becomes difficult to change. His latest example of this is Laybe. Laybe is the joining of "Maybe" and "Later". So now if he want to do something, and we can't give him the attention he wants straight away he says "Laybe".

"No Aidan, we can't go for a bikeride now."
"Laybe after dinner?"

Ethan too has been questioning the spelling of certain words. He is coming along in leaps and bounds with his school work, and his reading is fantastic. That, however, doesn't stop him from coming up and saying

"How do you spell my name Daddy?"
"Ethan. E. T. H. A N."
"Where's the F?"
"There is no F in Ethan?"
"But the other kids say it must be E. F. A. N"
"No it's 'than'. E-than. Not E- Fan!"
"Oh. So no F?"
"No, no F."
"Ethan. E. T. H. A. N."

Once we got that sorted out he was happy again!

Ciao for Now, Laybe Angry Dad.
