Ever since Taylor started talking he has said yis, and yat, for this and that and we have always thought it was the cutest thing. Thanks to teaching I have learned that pronouncing the “th” sound isn’t a concern until third grade, so I wasn’t worried, but just reminded him of the correct sound every once in a while. About two weeks ago he decided on his own that he was going to say this and that correctly and he corrected his “th” sound all by himself. I was so proud of him and loved watching him produce the “th” sound with his tongue sticking out extra far! But… now that he says it correctly all the time I miss the yis and yat, my little buddy is growing up!
A little Grand Forks information for you to better understand this Micahism…
There used to be a smiley face water tower that was quite iconic in GF.
It had to be torn down a few years back, but many people didn’t want to see it go, so to try to make them happy they painted another one in GF near where this one was located.
While in GF over Christmas, we drove past this one and showed the kids. The other day when Micah and I were driving in the car every time he saw a water tower he said, “Look, a smiley face.” Yep, Micah thinks water towers are called smiley faces.
Stay warm this week!
