"Smatches"

Jonathan (2 years, 7 months)

Jonathan is big into comparing things these days. He likes to point out similarities between things by telling me that the two things "smatch" (match). His green shirt "smatches" the grass, his dump truck sticker "smatches" the picture of the dump truck in his favorite book, the bow in Sissy's hair "smatches" the bow in her doll's hair, etc. Yesterday while watching me give Elizabeth a bath he excitedly announced that her walrus bath toy "smatched" his new monster truck. And then he ran off to get it. When he returned he said, "Dis one has 'teef' (pointing to the walrus' tusks) and dis one has teef (pointing to El Toro Loco's horns)." Teeth, tusks, horns...they're all the same, right?! Anyway, I just love how he says "smatches"! It is so cute I don't plan on ever correcting him! =)
