Flo-yay, Sto-yay, and Mor-yay

Kacy has the sweetest little voice, ever. I love to hear her talk, and the way she says things sometimes is hilarious. She loves to use big words, and she usually uses them appropriately. Some of her favorite "big word" sayings are, "That's so embarrassing." or "I appreciate it." or "You are hilarious." She also voices her feelings very well. She will tell me if she is scared or nervous about something.
One thing about being a mom is you can understand your kid better than anyone else. Obviously, we are around our kids more than anyone, so we know how they say certain words. That's an amazing thing because we can give them what they need without them getting upset, and we can communicate with them better than a stranger. But, there is also a downside. We don't realize sometimes when they say things wrong. Well, that's what happened with Kacy. I just realized the other day that for most words that end in the "er" sound, she changes to "yay". What the heck?!?! She can say words like "quicker" or "faster", but when she says "floor" it sounds like "floyay". It's adorable, but it's so odd! She can say "er". She can say "flo". The minute she combines them it becomes "floyay". I was working with her the other day trying to get her to say it better, and she started to get frustrated. I know it's not that big of a deal, so I let it go. It will all work out, just like everything else does!
