Lately, Violet's realized when she needs to use the past tense and for regular verbs she sounds spot on. Sometimes, though, she tries to add an 'ed' for past tense in the wrong places. While it's super cute to hear Violet say something like, "I give-ed Monkey a piece of candy," and "I take-ed my boots off," I figure that if she knows enough to conjugate, maybe she can comprehend the irregular verbs. So I'll often correct her with the right word, gently, though. I try to keep her interested in learning new words and not to be a jerk about it.
When Violet wakes up in a good mood in the morning, she usually says, "Momma, I'm all waked up." Christie looked at me one day Violet said and told me, "Please don't correct that one. I love the 'all waked up.'"
