Counting Syllables

So, since my recent post received such a plethora of comments I was overwhelmed and couldn't write again for weeks, yes weeks! But alas if I want to avoid a once a month post, my time is running out, so here are a few things I've been learning about syllables from my brilliant 2 year old:
cupcake has 3 -- cup-a-cake (I think 3 syllables make them more enjoyable)
four has 2 -- foou-ur (sounds like a lot when you're 2)

Other vocabulary lessons:
bayou--not just a watery mass, also means to sit near someone as in "sit bayou"
bokky--not just what we are trying to put in the potty, also means green veggie that Briella now enjoys raw, as in "broccoli"
fawfaw--a material used to clean tables, doll faces, brother's hair, and various stuffed animals as in "washcloth"
