One of the joys of parenting age two is observing them get the hang of this crazy language called English. Here are a few of Tiny’s attempts to master English that resulted in unintentional hilarity.
I call this one “Homonyms are hard”
Tiny holds up the letter U from her alphabet puzzle.
Me: “It’s a U”
Tiny: “Me?”

Enunciation is crucial with a two-year-old.
Seth: “Here, help me with Kiddo’s sheets.”
Tiny: “Baaa.”
Seth: “What? I need help putting Kiddo’s clean sheets on her bed. Are you going to help with the sheets?”
Tiny: “BAAA!”
Seth, comprehension dawning: “Ooooooh, sheeTs, not sheeP.”
Tiny: “Oooooh!”
*****
And sometimes she gets language exactly right all on her own.
Seth came home one day with a delicious looking chocolate cake, and Tiny exclaimed: “Look Mommy! It’s a Happy!”
Yes, my dear. That is *exactly* what that is.
