The Talking Kids

The morning with the kids went well. Since we were on the east side of town we went to the Raleigh Sam's Club for something. I told Lily that we are going to be getting a new Sam's Club that will be like that. Later as we were driving to church she wanted to tell Amanda about it and she said, "You know our Sam's Club, the one that we like so well?"

What five year-old talks like that?

Noah's vocabulary is slowly growing:

b'loon = any round object. Specifically a balloon, but could work for ball sometimes too.
apple = any piece of fruit. Usually means "orange."
yeh = yes. This is better than his little laugh to indicate the affirmative
mama = anyone he wants to do something for him
da = daddy

One of Noah's favorite babble words is "goon-dah." One time I said back to him, "GOON-dah?" He responded quite emphatically, "goon-DAH"

It's apparently all about which syllable gets the emphasis.

He is getting good at identifying his parts. If you ask, "Where is Noah's nose?" he'll stick a finger in his nose. He knows eyes, ears, nose, mouth, feet, toes, chest, and we're working on chin.
