Tannerise

I was trying to go to Bloglovin to look at quilt blogs....because I have nothing else to do.  No dishes.  No mail.  No dirty bathrooms.  Nothing.  ha.  Anyway, I accidentally typed "Blogger" instead.  So here I am.  I've been wanting to write a post about Tanner's speech.  Guess this is the time.

Tanner's speech is definitely coming along.  He still misses some very important first letters of words.  It makes for his own little language that only I can understand (sometimes.)  I become the translator for Brian and any other person that isn't around him all day long.  So if you want to learn Tannerise, here are the basics:

If the word starts with certain letters, just replace them with another easier to pronounce letter.  So for "S" say "H"; "F" say "B", and "V" say "B" or nothing at all.  So for example, some common words/phrases are....

"Ho Bunny"
"Cool Hong!"
"Harry Umpire!"
"Ho Heepy"

Translation --
"So Funny"
"Cool Song!"  (his constant request from the back seat, "RockRoll!  Cool Hong!")
"Scary Vampire!" (That is what he plans to be next 'Happyween.")
"So Sleep"  (As in, "Me not ho heepy, Mom!")

It can be tricky, but believe me, it's an improvement from the yelling/gesturing days.  :)
