Vian is quite eloquent these days. But he still can't pronounce the sounds 'Ka' and 'Ga'. Instead, he replaces them with the sounds 'Ta' and 'Da' respectively.
Here are some choice selections:
Vian: Appa, where is my tar (car)?
Vian: Tan I have a tootie (cookie)?
Vian: Amma, gone to yoda (yoga) class.
I always had a nagging suspicion that my wife is a Jedi. The way she can change my mind in one sentence....
My 2-year old (Vian) is getting eloquent by the day. He is not afraid to try out his new vocabulary.
Yesterday we were playing in the backyard. The kids want me to find them a rake. I walk around trying to find it, muttering to myself.
Vian comes over and says, "I help you".
I accept graciously and tell him that I'm looking for the rake.
Me: I wonder where it is. (muttering to myself).
Vian walks over to me and pulls my hand. In all seriousness he says,
Vian: Appa, it is somewhere.
And walks away with the satisfaction of having just helped his clueless dad.
Conversation between Yoshi and I.
Yoshi: I'm worried Sempi (our 2yo) might be a little dyslexic.
Me: Why?
Yoshi: He occasionally reverses the words in his rhymes.
Me: Like what?
Yoshi: "Frosty the snow man was a happy jolly soul" . It's supposed to be "Jolly happy soul".
Me: Oh yeah. He could be dyslexic or he could have a troll dad who subtly changes his rhymes to see if he'll catch it. (sheepish grin)
Yoshi: Oh boy. What else did you teach him?
Me: I'm trying "Itsy bitsy tiger", "Row row, row the boat gently down the street" and so on.
#ProudDad.
Sempi is playing in his room with some construction cones and trucks. He usually narrates his gameplay.
I walk into the room and right at the moment he says:
"Caution! Caution! Oversize load"
I wonder if it's coincidence or subliminal messaging.
Yoshi: Let me cut that chocolate bar in half.
Sempi: Why?
Yoshi: Because it is too much.
Sempi: I want too much.
