The Woad

I picked up Jack from daycare the other day and he was playing with a Lego town, complete with streets and roads. Fast-forward to a few minutes later while I am buckling him in and he asks me if "I liked the woad I showed you".

I had to pause and think, "What road?", but it dawns on me that he is talking about the Lego road that he put together. I said I liked it and took the opportunity to correct his pronunciation of the word "Road".

I said, "It's pronounced RRrroooad".
He says, "Woad".
I say, "Rrroad., Ro, Row, Road."
He says, "Woad."
I say, "Road, with an R".
He says, "WRoad".
I say, "Rrrroad".
He says, "WRoad".
I say, "Rrrroad".
He says, "WRoad".
I say, "Rrrroad".
Without missing a beat he says, "I can say highway".
