Animal Sounds

Do you ever wonder if what you're teaching your kids is going in one ear and out the other?? Owen and I were just doing a wooden animal puzzle.

Me: "Owen, what does the piggy say?"

Owen: "Mooooooo"

Me: "A cow says Mooooo... see the cow? What does the cow say?"

Owen: "Baaaaaaaa"

Me: "A sheep says Baaaaa... can you show me the sheep?"

Owen: points to the duck. "(sniffs like a pig)"

Me: "A piggy says oink-oink... is this a pig (pointing to the pig)"

Owen: "no."

Me: "Owen, I LOVE YOU!!!"

Then I asked him to pick up the puzzle pieces and he put the animals in their correct spots, almost. Silly boy.

Me: "I'm missing one puzzle piece, can you help me find it?"

Owen: "I don't know"

Me: "Owen, it's in your hand."

too funny :) I'm (im)patiently waiting for Brice to talk... he's 19mos old and all he says is Mamamama or mama or meee - and a VERY distorted version of "kitty/mickey"... hope all is well!!
