Conrad has been so much fun lately!
We were walking through the store and he started saying, "Mmmmmmeat!" No particular reason except I'd told him that was why we were there. We'd already picked up the sausage for dinner, but he was relishing the word. We played with it back and forth: Meeeeeeat! meat (whispered) Muhmuhmuh eeeat!
He is in that parrot stage.
Just after dinner, Mike looked across the table and said, "Thank you, Dear." I said, "You're welcome."
Conrad said, "Tankooo ear!"
He had to say it a few times before we could figure it out.
Figuring out a standard two year old is not the simplest task. They have that language all their own. At least he isn't a twin.
However, this particular two year old is becoming Tri-lingual. Aside from English and American Sign, he's also got Spanish going.
I think it was about a month before we figured out he was saying, "?Que es?" (What is it?)
He would pick up a random object and say, "Kee izz?"
I was trying to figure out why everything was sudden a Keeiz!
("What's he saying?" "I don't know, but he picks up almost everything and calls it that...")
You can ask him, "Donde esta el musco?" and he'll point to his runny nose.
"Donde esta Daddy?" He'll point to Mike.
You can say, "Hasta manana," and he'll say, "Bye-bye!" or "Mannanana."
Once, Dora (who watches him) was cooking plantains. The kids love bananas. He asked, "Banana peeease?"
She said, "No hay. Es un plantain."
He said, "Por favor, Banana?"
Yeah... he knows one of those languages should get him what he wants!
