Do you speak "Portish" ???

Here's a free lesson...

Ever since he started talking, Porter has developed his own language. He changes words and does his best to pronounce them, and they sometimes come out SO funny. Instead of correcting him, like we probably should, we just laugh and start talking that way too. Most of these examples are kind of spelled out phonetically (the best way I could describe his pronunciation via typing).

He doesn't say his "r's" or "th" sounds (they end up as "sss" sounds).

These are all things he says or has said in the past. I figured I better get 'em down so I don't forget, 'cause he's starting to say things the right way ((sad)). I'm sure I'll add to the list later on.
