Tristan is rebelling.  He insists on pronouncing the word “soup” like “sowp” instead of “soop.”  If it were spelled “soop” then it would be proper to pronounce it that way, right?  He pronounces “poop” properly.

We have a new obsession – Word World.  If you’re curious what it is, just click the link – the picture you will see explains it far better than I can.  It’s a show targeted toward 5-7 year olds, and I think Tristan knows all of the words used in the show by now.  Anyway, we highly recommend you share the show with your little ones.  As an adult, you will probably be ok with it and not puke too often when your kid asks to watch it over and over.. well, assuming your kid is still fairly young.  Anyway, I’ll certainly take that over the Myriad of Licensed Characters that grace just about everything and make no sense to me.

And Word World has an episode about the “oo” combination, which is probably why Tristan insists on calling it “sowp.”
