Month 25 - "atta batta shoes"

One thing I got from dating a sole parent a while back was the chance to observe the developing language of her toddling daughter. I cannot remember much but it was intriguing. Funny to humour her too - as you do with the "batter the shoes" comment.

I love listening to it grow - almost daily, tho you do hear surges in understanding and enunciation too.

I love the language development. My parents now say "dinkoo" to one another instead of "thankyou", even though Chloe can even say the word mostly correctly these days. Some days I'm tempted to keep a journal of the crazy pronounciations and sentence structures, just so we have a record (for blackmail purposes).

Your son is clearly a programmer. Do all people I know inherit the same attribute "at work", or are they independent, unrelated entities? And how does this attribute change state over time? Keep testing the variants, for this is clearly a mutable system!

Yay for cuteness.

hehe, its catching backwards, yes. I fight to not say the kiddie version of a few words, I don't think it helps Hamish's enunciation any.

I have given some thought to using my voice recorder that way too :)

You have a disturbingly cute child.

This is good.

He has beams of cute that get him free stuff.

But the more actually crazy stuff, such as when in the last month he demanded to put on his new pyjamas, pulled the legs up and ran around yelling 'knees!'.

Hang on, we do that sort of thing all the time. That's normal!

For a given value of 'normal' :-)

Solipsistic Woman is solipsistic

My normal is the definitive normal. I has spoken!

:P

'Normal' is merely a setting on the washing machine.
