Does Cooper have a British accent?

Well no, not really.  Occasionally, we can hear just a touch of a British lilt in his voice based the inflections on certain words.  "Daddy," for example, became something like "Duh-dee" pretty early on.  And we definitely use British vocabulary for things:  the elevator is the lift; a clothes pin is a peg; the parking garage is a car park.

But we have noticed that Cooper's "fake voice" -- the voice he uses when he's pretending -- is totally British.  Listen to Cooper describe how he made the car park in his room:


Here, Cooper is describing his various double decker buses (he now has three) and his London taxi:



Here, Cooper has set up a book store in his room.  (We collect books, it seems, no matter where we live!)  And the book store proprietor is noticeably British.

These are fantastic! I love that his play world is British. He's going to LOVE watching these when he's older.

These are great! Emily, you have a British lilt in your voice, too, when you ask if he'll take 5 pounds for Mr. Grumble. So it's not just Cooper! :)
