Jake is in "practice vocabulary" mode. Maybe I just don't remember well. OK, who am I kidding, I don't remember well, but it seems to me he's practicing more than the others did. In fact, he's for some reason obsessed with potty words, so much so that he was practicing "potty" and "wet" so much the other day at church that he had them convinced he was potty training and needed to go. They finally gave in and put him on the potty, at which time he looked at them like they were crazy and he had no idea what was going on. Anyway, every morning when I get him, our conversation goes like this...almost exactly the same each day.
K-Good Morning! Did you have a good night?
J- Uh huh. Bed.
K- Yes, you slept in your bed.
J- Pillow
K-Yes, that's your pillow
J - Rabbit
K - Yes, that's a rabbit
J- Ooooooohhhhh
K- No, a rabbit doesn't say Oooooohhhh!, a rabbit does this (I wiggle my nose...)
J - Oooohhhhhh (smile) bed
K- Yes, that's John's bed
J- Bo
K- Yep, there's Bo
J- Fruh fruh!
K- ruff ruff, yep, he's a dog.
J- door
K-Yep, that's the door
J-Locked
K - No, it's not locked...
And so on and so forth. It's funny he says the same wrong things every day as well as the same right things. Of course his enunciation isn't there, so if you don't live in our house, you probably wouldn't understand. Each part of our day is like this, though. Whatever he sees, he seeks affirmation in his naming of it. And if I'm not paying attention, he'll get right up in my face and yell "MAMA!" until I repeat it back. It's fun...most of the time.
