A Day I'm Glad I Recorded My Child's Mispronunciations in a Notebook

Recently, my daughter has almost stopped making mispronunciations.
Even though I'm happy about it, I feel a little bit sad.

I write in a notebook not just about myself, but about my family as well.
Among those entries, my favorites are the records of my daughter's mispronunciations.
When I read them back after a tiring day, my heart naturally feels at ease.
Today, please let me share some of my daughter's mispronunciations.

A Record of Cute Mispronunciations

Broccoli -> Brolly
Sugar butter bread -> Chugar butter-san
Corn -> Corn-o-corny
Running race -> Running-fall (It's a mystery why she said it that way... haha)

I have been writing down such cute mispronunciations in my notebook.
They were so adorable that I didn't even think to correct them, just leaving them as they were.
Thinking that she would eventually be able to say them correctly on her own,
I felt that these were words I could only hear right now.

And before I knew it, she was able to say all of those words correctly.
Growth is truly wonderful.
However, thinking that I can no longer hear those mispronunciations,
I feel a little bit sad.

Memories Connected by a Notebook

When I flip through the notebook, my daughter's voice from when she was little comes right back to me.
Even if it's just a single line, I can remember, 'Oh, that's how she used to say it.'

If there is ever a moment when your child's words move your heart,
I highly recommend writing them down in a notebook, even if it's just a word or two.

Thank you for reading this far.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
