No longer "free"

One of the best parts of watching a baby grow into a child is when they begin learning to talk and hearing all their funny little pronunciations. Mack has always been a really great talker so when she loses one her" Mackenzie-isms" , we're always a little sad. We still miss when ants were " aints" and lotion was " a losh" .

Today, Mack and I were playing a board game and, as she was counting aloud the spaces she'd spun, I realized that she no longer says " free" for " three" . This is a common impediment among "free"year olds, and maybe Mack tossed it aside since she's no longer " free" but this was our very last " Mackenzie-ism" and I already miss it! There was a time when " Mackenzienese" was the dominate language at our house and it's largely been replaced by regular old English. How boring!

Bittersweet to watch them grow up!

Chyenne is extremely articulate but my sweet Cohen still says "free" and "fumbs" instead of three and thumbs. Melts my little heart.
