(Almost) Lost in Translation.

Fawn is quite the talker.  His vocabulary is impressive for a toddler, and he generally uses the correct words for items.  But he's still managed to give a few items his own "name".

wheel drive = steering wheel
weed weeder = weed eater
mow grass = lawnmower
little movie = portable DVD player
home books = books that do not come from the library/books that he owns
new books = library books 
(He specifies whether he wants to read home books or new books when we read.)
farmers market cheese = any block of cheese (as opposed to sliced cheese or cheese sticks)

I'm sure there are more where these came from.  It's funny how little minds work -- happy translating!
