My boy is a yank

I think my children may watch too much television. Well maybe just Cameron. And maybe it isn't that he watches too much tv as such, rather that he is so easily influenced by what he watches.
Not that the way he is influenced is necessarily a bad thing. It just reminds me how quickly and easily children can pick things up. Actually in this case it's quite amusing.
I think Cameron is turning into an American. Yep. A yank. Half of the shows he watches are American so I guess I'm not surprised. It's just funny listening to him talk as his Australian language is being replaced by more eastern words!
Here are a few of the things he says:

"Mummy I'm going on a vacation" For those non-australian readers we aussies rarely use the term vacation. To us it's just simply a holiday.

"I need to find my flashlight" we call it a torch.

"I need to get the girls a diaper" we call a diaper a nappy. (actually this one is my favourite it is very cute coming out of his mouth. He even has me saying diaper!)

"Sidewalk" - we call it a footpath.

I'm actually waiting for him to start saying "pacifier" instead of dummy. But as the girls no longer have dummies there is probably a good chance that he won't mention it. Unless he's pretending the girls or himself are babies. Like he does quite often come to think of it.

The things my boy says always make me smile. Or laugh. The other day as I was changing Chelseas nappy he was beside me (always curious is he) and asked me why she had a big bum and a little bum! I'm giggling just writing this.
Actually I suppose it's a step up from when he was very concerned that they didn't have any bits at all because theirs had apparently "fallen off".
He'll understand it eventually I guess!
