Lucy’s vocabularly is exploding right now. She busts out new words every day. In a thick Boston accent.

She’s always asking for “wahta” to drink.

Yesterday she asked me to, “Putah in da gahhbage!”

(Translation: “Put it in the garbage.”)

Later, she told me she, “faahhhhted.” And while I abhore the word “fart,” particularly when it comes from the lips of my dainty daughters, I couldn’t help but catch it on video.


I blame Boston for making it funny.

Love it. Good for you for documenting it! Do it now before she officially becomes the middle child and you forget about her. (Just kidding, but I’m a middle child, after all.)

I, too, break out the video camera and force Paige to say words. She has really strange ways of saying things. “W” is “Y”, and “or” is “oi”, so an example is that “work” sounds like “yoik”. And on the fart front, she can’t say “sm” or s-anything, so she says f. So we make her say “I’m smart” and she says “I’m fart.” The older kids get endless amounts of amusement out of it.

That is too cute!! Sadly I hear the word “fart” way more often than I’d like to from my girls, sigh what’s a mother to do???

She actually sounds like my kids, so maybe she’s rocking the Aussie accent.

This is So funny because Elyse started saying the same word yesterday. Mike and I had gone to dinner and left the kids with my parents and when we came back, Mom was telling us about how gassy my little Princess had been. For the rest of the evening Elyse would slip the word “fart” into every single moment of silence possible. our girls are so alike its scarey!

Dave isn’t blogging anymore! He’s pretty broken-hearted about it, too. But, it had caused some issues with one of his siblings, so he’s stopped.

So adorable! And more authentic than most Boston accents I hear on TV.
