I miss hearing 'More tickles, Mama!' :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1552331 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:24:14 +0000 HLK208 1552331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: we went through that at 3/4 too. A lot of times B will say, "how sounds that?" For "how does that sound?" ...I've started saying, "how sounds that?" Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1552327 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:21:43 +0000 HLK208 1552327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is almost 5 but he gets business and company mixed up. For example, when talking to me about his sister,<br /> him: "I'm going to go over there to give her business"<br /> me: "...to keep her company?"<br /> him: "yeah!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1552324 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 21:18:37 +0000 78h2o 1552324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Apple" = Apple, orange, peach... any round fruit! She tried to take a bite of a clementine (with the peel still on) the other day while exclaiming, "apple!" - no, not so much! :) :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1552284 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:49:49 +0000 fancyfunction 1552284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we look through picture book, she points to the pictures and makes me say what each one is. Every time we get to the crab, I say "crab" and then she points to her crib! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1552279 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 20:45:54 +0000 T-Mom 1552279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"No pickle me" means "don't tickle me!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551354 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:21:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 1551354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SeptMomma12: my LO gets excited to see birds (aka, airplanes) too! Also, all birds are "owl", except for Big Bird,</p> <p>She also talks about herself in the 3rd person more and more often; "Eleanor wants x, y, z"</p> <p>Anything that falls over or gets dropped or knocked over by E is "fall down." Cup of milk fall down, crayons fall down on floor, etc. </p> <p>She calls all beds "nap" instead of bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551350 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:20:23 +0000 lamariniere 1551350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: I also think it is pretty cool that he knows what is "correct" even if he's doing it wrong. English is so hard like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551333 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:15:58 +0000 Cherrybee 1551333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This thread is cracking me up! </p> <p>@lamariniere: I love this! He's applying the grammatical rule correctly (except these verbs do not follow that pattern of course). What a clever boy!! He will never, ever have heard you say "gived" so he is not learning language simply through copying, he is actually forming the words in his mind, using the rules he has observed! So awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551092 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:28:51 +0000 junebugmama 1551092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>down = up or down </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551067 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:23:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 1551067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spoon = Brush (only during mealtime!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1551062 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 13:22:00 +0000 lamariniere 1551062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is stumbling on past tense with irregular verbs.

Also, she will sometimes say applesauce if she means sausage. I can see how that happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550716 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:46:33 +0000 autumnlove 1550716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: polka dots = dot dot dots here! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550631 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:13:02 +0000 SeptMomma12 1550631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cow noise = "Boo" (DH jokes it's a ghost cow)<br /> Connor (his name) = "CaCa" (will point to himself and yell "CaCa")</p> <p>Also, LO cannot understand that airplanes are not birds.

Bird!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550595 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:01:40 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1550595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>because = bepause is her biggest one lately!</p> <p>also polka dots = coconuts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550567 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:53:53 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1550567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dolphin = donut<br /> When he wants to be picked up he says "I pick you up!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550559 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:51:47 +0000 sorrycharlie 1550559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>up...is up, down, on, off.</p> <p>on.. is also up, down, on and off.</p> <p>depending on her mood! she generally uses them correctly, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/things-your-lo-gets-mixed-up#post-1550520 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 10:43:00 +0000 KT326 1550520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Off= on and off.
