Talkin' Toddlers

H. is a toddler. Which is sad. But he talks. Which is hilarious! He knows a lot of words, so he can answer questions, which is great when he really wants something. So, if you ask a question, he will answer "yeah" or "no-no" (always 2 nos. Always). But he also says some words (not very many, but enough). As is common with his age (16 months) he vastly generalizes things. Like food. It's either "cacas" (crackers), for toast and chips and cookies and bread... or "appa" (apples), for anything fruit related. Whenever we go anywhere, he points out cars ("a cah"). And anything bigger than a car is a bus ("a bah"). Trucks, trains, SUV's... all busses. Also, any brown animal is a cow. Anything. Horses, giraffes, a dog. Complete with moos and everything. He loves animals, and knows what most animals say (cows go "moo", sheep "baa", kitties say "oww", monkeys say "oo-oo"), and can for the most part point them out. I love that he is growing up, and becoming a cute little person. And I love that he picks up on things. I love that the word snuggle ("nuggo") is in his vocabulary, and I love that he uses it all the time. I just love that cute little boy more and more every day.
