Favorite Word

We have all heard stories about children who, as they were learning to talk, called objects by the wrong name.  My mom likes to tell the story about how I used to call milk "gil."  One of my friends has a niece that calls her "te-te" instead of "auntie."  Fletcher is currently using a word incorrectly that proves he's a Nance (if there was any question in the first place).  It is his favorite word right now, so it is easy to get him to say it. I took a video of him this evening to prove it.


That's right.  He calls absolutely any motor vehicle a boat.  It doesn't matter if it has wheels, wings, or a propeller; if it has a motor, he calls it a boat.  Today at the car wash, he would point to every car and say "boat."  When he hears any sort of motor outside (including lawn mowers) he points in the general direction of the noise and says "boat."  He may be a little confused, but one thing is for sure, he is a boater.
