Liam was sitting on the island as David began to fix his honey cake, goat milk yogurt, and the usual array of vitamins. Like always, Liam started insisting, “Me ‘ant, bube’ies. Me ‘ant bebe’ies.”
Adam turned around from the table where he was scarfing down cereal, “Liam, can you say please for your blueberries?”
Liam: “No, me dan’t.”
Adam: in an awed voice of praise, “Good job, Liam, you used a contraction. Instead of saying, I cannot, you said, I can’t.”
wow!! Does Adam want to come work in the language centre here with me?! we could use that!!!! that’s just so cute!!
(by the way, i should tell my students that my friend’s little – or not-so-little!!!! – fella can identify contractions so they should too!!!! haha)
Liam’s response is exactly what my 2 year old would’ve said! But now Adam-he’s quite the smart cookie!;)
nice. that’s the way to praise your kids instead of correcting them…cause they’ll get it right. nice. they are such a wonderful ‘bunch’ of intellectuals 😉
oh and what is honey cake? do you have a recipe for it?
@mytoesareblue –
Here is the recipe to the honey cake. http://www.elanaspantry.com/honey-cake/ I substitute flax meal for the eggs since Liam is allergic to them and I also skip the raisins. He loves raisins, but won’t eat them in the cake.
@psalm150girl –
Adam would be honored, 😉 and I’m sure he’d go down as the youngest teacher on record. 🙂
smart little cookie, that Adam.
that Adam, he sure knows his way around!!! Would love to listen to him and Liam discuss life….:)
smart kid. Takes after his mommy! =) So cute.
So Cute!!! =)

Yay, Adam!!!
Your little Adam is just so funny! I get the biggest kick out of him! 🙂
too funny!! =)
Doesn’t it just warm your heart to hear one of your kids praising another one? Derrick does that kind of thing with Nikki sometimes…like he’s just SO impressed that she thought of something/did something/knew something, etc.
And Adam…what a funny guy he is!
that Adam of yours is such a great guy. and Liam has such cute little words.
love this kind of sweet kid stuff!
but i have to say. i am worried about David.
his breakfast is alarming indeed. 😉
goats milk. shudder.
at least he has great taste when it comes to pickin a wife!
love!
@down_onthefarm –
funNY. That’s Liam’s breakfast. Clearly Adam’s mom could use a bit of help on prepositions. 😀
nope. nope. i get it now. 🙂
and reading something that mentions Liam’s allergies and special dietary needs,
makes me realize that it must consume alot of mental and emotional energy to meal plan and prepare.
which would wipe me out physically. bless ya girl.
Merry Christmas to my favorite Michelle! 🙂
love you girl
