It’s amusing how forthright little ones can be once they start talking, issuing orders to ‘move‘, ‘sit there‘, ‘read it‘, ‘get it‘. It’s super cute watching E’s language unfold: he pronounces almost all words so clearly it’s strange to think only a few months ago we were ”wallering wowers’ and ‘eatin olibs’‘. Below are just some of the phrases he comes out with regularly (click on the Wordle to enlarge for easier reading)
It’s amazing being able to have conversations with E, offering choices and seeing the determination with which he makes himself understood. If you happened to overhear him excitedly saying ‘‘want to look the babies’‘ you’d understandably be puzzled. Mumma on the other hand simply smiles in anticipation of the big grin and funny dance he’ll be doing within seconds of these Evian babies advert starting.

Haha, love the evian one.
How about last Wednesday, tapped on garage door, and said
“knock knock who’s there”. What else have you been teaching him?

LOVE IT!
Jac – it’s had about 4 million hits – I think E’s done half of those! (yes trained to hit repeat on the laptop :o)
Dad – our little parrot says all sorts. Today ”draw it Mumma, lion, rarrrrr”
Denise – me too :o) I’ve got heaps of little video clips of him saying things, hope to post a montage of those one day
