Oliver's Fs
Oliver has started doing something that Cora used to do when she was about his age. He enjoys playing with words, particularly substituting the first letter of every word in a sentence with a particular letter. His favorite is "f". I just make sure not to talk about trucks.
So tonight for bedtime he requested and I sang, with f's substituted throughout:
Fender Fepherd
Finkle Finkle Fittle Far
Fock a Fye Faby
Fing Fow, Feet Fariot
Then, after songs:
Me: "Good night buddy."
Oliver: "I'm a fig foy. A fig two years old foy. I'm Foliver."
Me: "Good night Foliver. Feet feams."
Ollie: "You're a fatty."
Me: "I'm a fatty?"
O: "Uh-huh. Before you were a fatty you were a Brian. Before I was Foliver I was an Oliver."
And as I left the room after saying good night I heard him call out behind me:
"Fud Fight Fatty!"
