Hallelujah

Parker has words that he has has trouble saying

and 

and he has words he refuses to say the way they are supposed to be said

{such as, granola(ganola), library(libary) and draw (drawl)}

One of the words he has trouble saying is:

Hallelujah

He says it like: Halayoula

{pronounced  - ha. la. you. la}

On Saturday we laughed and laughed and tried to get him to say it right

Thankfully he was a good sport 

{I would have been completely frustrated but he laughed along with us}

About 9:00 that night he decided to try it again

At first it came out as hallelujah

and then all of a sudden, we were back to square one saying halayoula

followed by, 

Life is hard!

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time

I wish I would have video taped it to show him in a few years 

Maybe you just had to be there

He went to bed Saturday night practicing and guess what
He's got it!

It almost makes me a little sad that I won't ever hear him say - Ha.la.you.la
