Charles word watch

Charles continues to grow his vocabulary and he’s using sentences more often. Interestingly the sentences are all questions as with “Can I try that?”.

I’ve been working on his use of “now” as an imperative. He now uses enough different words on and off that the set of words that he “knows” is becoming amorphous. And sometimes he uses words in a slightly different sense than others. For instance, “ow!” doesn’t mean “I’m hurt” but “something is happening to me that I don’t like”. Such as getting one’s face washed. As I scrub the grime off, Charles lets forth this howling “ooooowwwwwww!” as if I’m poking him with rusty needles.
