Roll On Baby

Jack note.



This kid is so determined. He's taught himself how to snap, whistle, wink w/ both eyes, wiggle his ears, make the Vulcan "v", double-cross his fingers, make the shadow puppet dog bark, and so on. Due to his slight speech impediment he has trouble making "r" sounds. Shark, when he says it, comes out shahk. Beer is beeya.



Well J is in Spanish this year, and he has decided he will learn to roll his r's. And he has come a long way! His perro sounds awesome! As an added bonus he has started to roll many other consonants as well. You should hear him say "tottttttttttttttaly" or "oh nnnnnnnnnnnnno". Yesterday my coworker almost wet herself laughing when J came in to get $ for "lllllllllllunch".



That little tongue just vibrates all day long now. This is what it sounds like for me to put on mascara: "pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll". While I straighten my hair I zen out to "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr". And the background music for my morning news show is "ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt".



Roll on, baby!
