'Ishes and things that look like 'ishes

"Ishes" is Doodles's word for "fishes," which is of course his word for "fish." (And yes we encourage the grammatically incorrect pronunciation--it's just too cute to not encourage). And he gets it right... most of the time. At the Lexington library is a fish tank and he runs up making the sign for fish and exclaiming, "ishes! ishes!" When he's hungry and wants Goldfish, the little hand goes crazy and it's "ishes!" But then, for some reason, the baseball on Adam's Faith Rewarded DVD, which honestly does look a little underwater-ish is also "ishes." And in his Barney alphabet book, he gets quite excited over the squash and the zucchini, declaring with utter certainty, "ishes!" Good thing we don't keep a garden. He'd be pulling out the zucchini, declaring them too small, and tossing them back.
