Recently, Emma has started adding -e to many words. (For instance, "I want milky." or "Give me a huggy."or "I'm all done-y") It has been driving us insane, especially since we took great care not to use baby talk with her. I mentioned it to one of her teachers at school when she first started it and she said that Emma hadn't been doing it there. Every time she does it, we attempt to correct her and have her repeat the word correctly.
She did it again as we were cleaning up dinner tonight and making her wait her turn to get cleaned up so she could go play.
The conversation went something like this:
Emma: I'm all done-y.
Carrie: *sigh* Emma quit adding a y to words.
Kurt: Emma that's not a word. Say I'm all done. You can't just add y to the end of words.
Emma: I'm messy, as she lifts up her hands to show us and has a completely straight face.
Kurt and Carrie's thoughts: Man we can't pull ANYTHING over on this kid.
Followed by some chuckles.
Kurt: Emma are you too smart for your own good?
Emma: No! I don't think so Mister!
....where did she get that from?!?.....
Carrie: Who says that Emma?
Emma: Miss Brianna says it when she reads the book No, David!
As we laughed, Emma got the biggest smile on her face and laughed SO hard. She was incredibly proud of herself!
