T (turns 2 next week) is talking up a storm. He has hit the language explosion stage and we are all getting a kick out of it. He amazes us with all he says- not only mimicking, but putting together and expressing his own thoughts and desires. When we went to IL at the beginning of the summer he was repeating words; now he has full sentences such as:
Mommy, don't touch wall?
O will get it?
I need to run to potty.
I read to you?
You read book to me?
Wear special shoes.
Get down, please, Daddy.
L hurt me!
R ride his bike.
Play with trains after rest?
As you see, questions are a large part of his dialogue. He isn't always intending to ask something, but his inflection makes many things sound like questions.
Yesterday T had a bag clip from the kitchen and he was playing with it as if it were jaws closing on B and my legs. He would say "get YOU!" and the clamp the clip together. This was followed by "Open, please, Daddy (or Mommy)?"
"Aw." B said at one point. "How could I say no?" (T is just so cute and delicious to us!)
After a slight pause, T chimed in. . . "No?"
