Random Reid-isms

Reid and I were reading [1] Jesse Bear, What Will You Wear? by [2] Nancy White Carlstrom this morning. This book is a favourite and Reid can supply the final word to most sentences and even whole sentences and so I was a bit surprised to hear her get one twisted. On reflection, though, she is reconciling what she used to know with something more recently encountered. Near the end of the book, Jesse Bear tells us that he’ll wear “His blanket that’s blue and plays peek-a-boo,” or usually he does. This morning his blanket played “seek-a-boo”. Last week I noticed that Reid asked to play “hide-and-go-peek” and thought that a cute switch. I’ll have to listen to hear if she now says “hide-and-seek”. Since I’m telling you about speaking mix-ups, I’ll also mention that Reid has been wearing her “flowsnakes” pajamas lately. It’s tempting to mimic these slips but I try not to. Hide-and-go-peek is most tempting and actually quite accurate as Reid tends not to close her eyes when she counts.
