Now that your child has mastered some key words, she'll soon figure out (if she hasn't already) that saying those words in a REALLY LOUD VOICE is a surefire way to get what she wants. Some toddlers can even make simple two-word sentences such as "No more" or "All done." And, as a sign of your child's growing self-awareness, she may start referring to herself by name: "Claire go," for example.Now, I realize that these generic emails probably err on the side of very gradual development so that if you have babies who don't like to talk (a certain set of twins comes to mind) you won't feel so bad. But Moses keeps blowing us away with his conversations and sentences which are definitely more than two words long. Here are just a few examples that come to mind from the past couple days:
Joe: Moses, do you want to get in the pool?
Moses: No.
Joe: Why not?
Moses: Cold.
Joe: Because it's cold?
Moses: Yeah. Because cold.
Moses: Mommy, get it!
Me: What do you want me to get?
Moses: Goggle.
Me: Where are the goggles?
Moses: Pool.
(Sure enough, there was a pair of goggles at the bottom of the pool.)
Moses: Where'd Daddy go?
Me: He went to take Caleb to the bathroom.
Moses: Why?
Me: Because Caleb needs to poop.
Moses: Ohhhh.
(I don't think the twins started asking "why" questions until they were close to 4.)
I tired!
(He actually says this when he is tired and ready for a nap or bedtime.)
Me: Sweet Moses.
Moses: Sweet Mommy.
(We go back and forth telling each other how sweet we are.)
Where bikes go?
(When he realized that his ride-on trikes weren't in their usual corner in the basement.)
'sat? (what's that?)
Where Joshua go? Joshua, where are you?
Where Key-eb go? Key-eb, where are you?
Excuse me, Daddy. Excuse me, Joshua.
When you're in the way and he wants to get by.
Where are you, al-gator? There you are, al-gator!
When playing with an alligator.
M! Moses!
When he sees an "M" somewhere. He realizes that his name begins with "M".
