Toddler Talk

It has been a lot of fun to listen to the Z and L as their language has developed--and as they've acquired more Spanish. They know most letters and sounds (thanks to Letter Factory while Mama pumps). They can sing many songs--Doe a Deer, Edelweiss, Jesus Loves Me, My God is so Great, Little White Duck, Uptown Funk, etc. Zadie is working out pronouns still--everyone is a "he." They really like to mimic anything Mama or Daddy say. Yesterday, Mama told Lia to "hold on and stop grabbing the phone." Zadie then followed up, "Lia, you're gonna have to hold on and wait for Mama." Needless to say, we speak mostly in full sentences now, but still have lots of fun 2 year old errors. 

They also have all sorts of speech articulation errors--all normal for 2 year olds. We occasionally correct and over annunciate the sounds, "not lellow, yuh yuh yellow; not yeth, yeSSS, etc." At dinner Lia corrected Zadie saying, "Not lellow, sss sss yellow." Gotta love the over generalizing. 

The other day we were going down for naps, and Lia was very concerned with the "hair" that was hanging from her ceiling. Lo and behold, there was a small spider web hanging down. They both hate bugs.
