Maybe Not

If you have ever met our little Ellie you will find out quite quickly that she has her own unique way of pronouncing sounds and words. Most of the time it's downright endearing. Some of the time, however, we find ourselves faced with a situation we didn't anticipate.

Tonight, for example: While sitting at the dinner table Ian casually asks, "Should we start calling Curtis "Curt"?"

With a quizzical look Ellie asks, "Curt?"...which comes out sounding like, "Turd?"

Uh...Um..."Curtis" it is!

Post Edit: No, I don't know why Ian suggested calling him Curt. I didn't ask.

You made me LAUGH.

"Turd" is not a good name for such a cute boy!

Turdis sounds much better. Good choice.

That is Jack's nick name! I like it. Sometimes it's turdicus maximus. I love her pronunciation though, she's a cutie pie.
