Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for June 28, 2024

“GWEEN!”

Puh-pul

Peeek

wed, o-wange, weh-wo, gween, bwu, puh-pul

Actually, this is very good. Most children this age have no ability to name colors. That skill develops later than you think, and it’s not uncommon for parents to worry that their children might be colorblind! (If that was you, you’re in good company. Charles Darwin had the same worry about his children.)

Show her chartreuse.

Just hope that the mis-prognostications don’t carry over as they grow older because people think it’s cute. Nothng worse than a teen or even an adult using the baby -talk in normal conversation.

Reminds me of my son when he was really young. He wrote a story of a battle between white knights and black knights, but it was written as “The blak nits fort the wit nits and the wit nits wun”. ‘A’ for effort considering how young he was.

“lello” my eldest girl. :-)

What does Zoe know about grading on a curve at her age? Can she explain it?

This is a dreadful way to teach colors. Read a book and ask her to point out the yellow duck. Go grocery shopping and ask her to find a green grape. Wanda’s method is just a way to discourage your kid.

Zoe can see that Wren is every bit as smart as she was at that age and she doesn’t like it.

Adorable!

Zoe as usual doesn’t think she has ever been wrong about anything. She is the Mean Girl of her age.

Not educated in toodler-speek (sp33k?), comparing to a rainbow, I assume “weh-wo” is yellow!

Start filling out that Harvard application, parents! :D

My baby nephew announced those names the same way too, at first.

And look how you turned out Zoe.

Is Jenny still trying to give Hammie her phone number?

Took awhile before my son could pronounce ‘hamburger’, the pronunciation he did was ‘hangerber’. We still occasionally use his version.

My son pronounced “purple” as “puta”. (It means b—-h, or wh-re in Spanish)

Encourage the effort.

She talks like Barry Kripke from The Big Bang Theory.
