Favorite Mispronunciation

Riley's vocabulary is rapidly expanding. His pronunciation of words is also getting better and better. For the most part, I do my best to repeat the words that he's saying back to him so that he eventually learns the correct pronunciation.

There is only one word that I refuse to correct. "Monny." Monny is how he pronounces "Mommy" and I could not love it more. Something about it just seems sweeter than the correct pronunciation. "Hi Monny." "Morning Monny." "Bye bye Monny." I just love the way it sounds. I swear he will be 50 before I let him in on the secret that it is pronounced "Mommy". Every kid calls his mom, "Mommy". Not me, I'm Monny.
