Mercy is today 3 years old and full of life! She is also quite a strong-willed child. No matter how hard we try, we still have trouble getting her to say "please" and "I want this" and things like that. In fact, more often than not, she just grunts or uses gestures to show what she wants.
She is doing much better, though. She has a vocabulary of her own. Some of the words she alters so she can pronounce them. Some are accurate and understandable by others. I'd like to share with you some of our "Mercyisms".
Gabby=Daddy. Geeowt=get out. Graya=Grace. Opie=Hope. Mama=Mama. Mymie=fix my diaper!
a-b-e-d-e-eh-g, eh-i-j-j-eppem-eppopee! q-r-eh-t-u-v, w, y, and z. (to the tune of
"Twinkle-Twinkle, Little Star")
We go bye-bye= we are going on a trip. pider=spider. wee fly=butterfly. quare=square.
dad-un=unknown. bawd=bird. lelo=yellow. gark=shark. hoyt=hurt. amona=good morning. mama=woman
gish=fish. ebbebant=elephant. uff=woof. yeow=meow. ber-ber=burger. aiya=hair. eye=eyes. no=nose
More to come later.
Mercy and Baxter wait for the bus.
She really is excited about school.
This is an example of a newborn with microtia.
The ear canal is covered over and the lobe is deformed, or missing.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round."
