need mo' dope

While Ernie's speech is still developing, he is has not yet found  his initial "s" sound.  When he washes his hands or bathes, he requests "more dope peas"  "need mo dope".  I like to give him the tiniest amount just so he will say it again.


Rather than Simon, he calls our dog "Damohn"  which I like because it sounds French.   Maybe we can change it permanently.  I think I prefer Dahmon anyway.


My little guy loves his dope and Damohn too.
