Charles had a big word day yesterday. He was eating yogurt and Mom explained that he had turned in to a messy boy. Charles asked, “messy?” which Mom confirmed. Charles said it several more times, savoring both the word and the state.
After this quick word acquisition, I decided to test Charles’ grasp of proper nouns (which had not previously really used). I asked him who Corwin was and he said “bah-ee” which we think is his version of “boy”. He labeled me something that sounded very much like “da-dee” which is pretty good. Mom was just “mah-ee” which at least is as close to “Mom” as “bah-ee” is to “boy”.
