A Jersey Boy?

For some reason, Eli has started using an accent while saying certain words. I have no idea where he got it from, considering his classmates don't have one, nor do any of our immediate friends... The accent doesn't show up all the time, but it's becoming increasingly more common.

His most prominent words are:
cars = ca-oars
on = oh-ennn
ball = b-oo-awl
off = oo-waahf

(By the way, we survived the storms. I went in to comfort Eli during Friday night's madness, which is something that NEVER happens, and he was fine after that. Maddux slept right through, as Eli usually does. Saturday we were downtown when it hit, so we witnessed golfball-sized hail, but we were able to get safely under protection until it passed.)

Glad to hear you guys are ok. I heard that they hit more around everyone than directly ... unless you lived downtown that is :)

Glad you're alright. Maya has a weird accent with some of he words too. But it's French sounding, not Jersey :)
