New Langauge Skills


Maureen discovered two new words in John's vocabulary. The first one is cock-a-doodle-doo. She was reading a book to him with all sorts of animal sounds like "meow" or "moo". When she says those, he stays silent. As soon as she says the five syllable word, he chimes in with his version. Then, we were watching a program with a little boy who rescues animals, has a pet puma, and a cousin that's an explorer and one of the characters said, "Hola." Sure enough, Little Man Jones decides to chime in with a "Ho-lo." It's close enough, but we clearly understood what he was saying. Little by little, our little genius is starting to talk and he didn't even have to watch those "Your Child Can Read Videos".
