quoting Three-year-old

today we goed at a hike.
we drived over here, right?
on da road, on da road, on da road,
going going going going going,
and corn,
den we got dere!

on the rocks,
we hiked.
we walked in da woods
and we goed on a tree.

then we goed to da water.
we goed and tried and fish for fish.
we goed near da water,
and took my cwoes off.
my unnerwear, unner my pants --
i didn't take my unnerwear off.
i not sure.
i weaved dem on.
and we goed in da water!

we goed back.
we goed home, right?













...now that's what i call "imperfect prose"! http://canvaschild.blogspot.com/

  2. Wonderful. I love the singsong talk of babies who are learning to use their tongues. I think there should be a book of preschooler poetry. I would read it.
    Love this!

  5. i love toddler/little child talk! i'm torn between correcting and enjoying their speech. :) my oldest has lost all trace of her lisp, but i can still mimic it almost perfectly. child speech has its own beauty.
