Ma-U Po-U

Hearing Ethan talk and communicate with us is so precious. His first word was of course dada. He didn't say mama well after he had his 1st birthday. We tried and we tried to get him to say mama and finally one day when Scott was out of town he finally said it. It was a Sunday and it was a very hard day having Ethan and teaching Primary all by myself at our late 2:30 schedule. It was a very bad day, but when Ethan said Mama... The day got so much better. Now he is talking and chatting up a storm. We love to hear him putting words together and telling us what he is doing or what he wants.

Ethan has a hard time saying the E sound at the end of words when the word ends with a Y. He'll say Ma-u instead of Mommy and Po-U instead of potty. I break mommy up into 2 syllables and he'll be able to repeat it, but the next second he'll revert back to his old ways. It cracks Scott up and he intentionally has Ethan say "mommy potty" and it comes out as "ma-u po-u".
