My Brycie!!

My hair-sniffing little four year-old has this interesting phenomenon in his speech, where he just refuses to use his Ls and Rs when they are the second letter in a word. When he says, "I just stepped in gass." you have to decipher if he means he stepped in glass or grass. Strangely, if a word starts with an L, he's okay with it. Anywhere else his Rs, of course, are Elmer-Fuddian Ws.It can be a source of great entertainment!So back to the hair sniffing. I don't know why he does it, but he randomly walks up to me and sniffs my hair. And to make matters interesting, my hair is blonde in the top layers and brown in the bottom layers, which normally in Brycie speak would be "bonde on bown". However, my kids all call the brown in my hair black. Can you see where I'm going with this? No?As I'm being lazy, lounging in my bed a 6:00 in the evening. Bryce climbs up next to me and starts playing with my hair. "Mommy. Youw haiw smells pitty." Slight pause. "Even youw back haiw."
