James' Favorite Word

James is cracking me up lately. His favorite word is yeah. He uses it all of the time.

"James, do you want a bowl of cereal?"

"Yeah"

"Would you sit down in your chair please?"

"Yeah"

"Isn't it a pretty morning outside the window?"

"Yeah"

"Can you say anything other than yeah?"

"Yeah"

"Well, what can you say?"

He stops, gives a puzzled look, then giggles!

He's too cute! And he knows exactly what he's doing.

Side note: As Owen and I were discussing what I'd blog on today it started a conversation on the pronunciation of yea and yeah. I thought I knew that yeah was yeah and yea was yea, but was only 99% sure and I didn't want to publish my post incorrectly. You can see how confusing this can get, yeah-yea, yea-yeah. I figured a dictionary might help, so I went on to www.dictionary.com and was pleased to find audio help. I clicked the speaker icon and a woman's voice said the word. Now I am 100% sure that yea is yea and yeah is yeah.

As a follow up from yesterday's post: Matthew only woke up once last night. Yea! (not yeah) He just wanted his bottle and went right back down. Unfortunately, now that the boys are sharing a room, Matt woke James up and James didn't go back down for an hour. I did get some rare snuggle time with the little guy and that's a blessing!
