Naketionary

We’ve suddenly noticed Nate talks.  I mean, we’ve known he says things,  but now all of a sudden, I think he’s saying lots of things.  Here’s a little cheat sheet, in case you find yourself in a deep discussion with our littlest conversationalist:

Mama = Mama

Dada = Dada

Mo = More.  When repeated over and over can sound indistinguishable from Mama and thus may be contributing to an overabundance of talking and an under-abundance of listening… MomoMamaMomoMama!

My = Mine.  Always uttered desperately when someone is trying to yank something out of his hands.  Again, Myyyyy can start to sound a lot like Mo and Mama, but I think it’s definitely different.

Baba = Bottle

Ba ba = Ball.  He totally understands,”Nate, go get your ball.”  Whenever I say this he whips his head around, smiles, goes to get his ball and then holds it in the air, laughs mischievously and bounces it.  Repeat.

Bye bye = Says this and waves.  Sometimes I catch him waving when we say other “b” words.

Agua = Water.  Miss Dulce’s charges always request agua.  I love this.
