Hey, Your Name is MUD!

Tanner taught me a lesson the other day using a prop.  Sounds like something we'd see in Relief Society, right?  Here's a recap of my lesson:

While folding laundry, he came up to me and said, "Mom, I wish your (picking up one of my bras but not remembering the word, so I said, "Bra"), yes, bra, was refoseable."  Huh?  I was confused.  Refoseable isn't a word so I asked him, "Refoldable?" (I was folding laundry....it made sense).  "No. Refoseable."  Ok...."You mean resolvable?"  "No. Ugh!"  I really had NO idea what he was trying to say, so I told him I was sorry for not understanding his word.  He then left the room and came back a minute later with some of his sweats.  He  held them up and put his one arm into one leg of the pants and pulled it through so it was inside-out.  "Refoseable".  OH!!!!  "REVERSIBLE!"  "Yes! Refoseable!"  : )

Tanner's "R" sounds a lot like a "W" or "O" depending on where it falls in the word.  I figured out that the word started with an "R" instead of a "W", but couldn't figure out the middle "R", which was making his "V" sound like an "F".  I LOVE that my 5 yr old son had enough patience with me to go and get a prop to teach me his word.  I don't think I wouldn't have thought of that.  He's so smart!! 

I love you, Tanner!  Thanks for teaching me something new and for being so patient with my misunderstanding.

And for the record, I still have no idea why he wished my bras were reversible...and neither does he; he just does.  LOL!  : )
