So, today Aria had to pee, and we're working on her going all by herself, but she was being hesitant. I asked:
D: Do you need Mommy's help?
A: No, say "do you need momma help?"
D: (refusing to encourage bad grammar) Do you need Mommy's help?
A: No, say "do you need mommy help?"
D: Repeated myself
A: No, just one mommy...
I then proceeded to explain about apostrophe's and how I the "S" had an apostrophe that meant help BELONGING TO Mommy, not that there are two mommy's - BUT I don't think she got it...
Oh, Apostrophe, how you baffle three-year-olds.
The photos below aren't great, but they show that Aria is learning facial expressions, this was me saying, "be silly, be angry, be tired, be happy" etc...she's pretty good, in my opinion...

Even adults have problems with apostrophes! Be glad Aria isn't trying to go into the MENS room (or should that be MEN'S Room?)
Is MENS even an English word? I know it means 'people' in Dutch!
Opa
Awe. Cute story! I love the pictures. Especially the last one of the two of you.
Next, you need to teach her blue steel.
Oh, apostrophes, how I love every variety~
