Dragon wants to do something by himself with no help, raises his hand, palm outward in the classic 'Stop' pose toward his would be helper and says 'No. I do it!'

  1. The computer doesn't want me to look at your blog but I have tricked it for the moment.
    I'm very pleased you have recorded Dragonisms. I never did for the boys properly and feel sad for that. Ack shee was a very common adverb they used (and still do). You just don't realise how many times you can use actually, do you?
    Lucky for us Rowan couldn't say "f" (or a whole heap of other sounds) so we missed out of the dump truck versions.

  2. This is the funniest thing I have read for ages.

    Be thankful he can pronounce /f/ Even though it may be embarrassing at times, it is much preferable to spending hours each week going to speech therapy and having daily practice sessions. (Mousie can now saw words beginning with /f/ ...... it's taken nealry 3 years.)

  4. Way too funny! I love the dumfuc (obviously a cute one!). We have ackshlee, similar to your ackshe.

    Also we get to watch the Backyardptarmigans on DVD as a treat. I have no idea how he figured that one out!

  5. "In a sentence: 'Dat wart puff-low! everybotties got wart puff-low.'"

    I actually wonder if that comes from the Veggie Tales Water Buffalo song? "Everybody's got a water buffalo, yours is fast but mine is slow, where they came from I don't know but everybody's got a water buffaloooooo!"

    Maybe?

  7. By the way, Andre and I both had tears of laughter in our eyes as I was reading the Dragonisms out to him. Especially the dump truck one.
