We're having an explosion around the Mumblerrr household! A vocabulary explosion. I haven't tracked all the things 21-month-old E can express and I know that a lot of it can only be translated by us, but it has been amazing to realize how good his language skills are becoming -- especially when you consider that he spent the first 16 months of his 21 months hearing Amharic.
With this communication growth has come his ability to express possession, so now everything is "my" or "mine". My ball, my car, my bear, my purple wah. After sitting on the potty he likes to declare, "My butt, my peepee, my butt, my peepee," while indicating each. Yes, sweetie, that is your butt and that is your peepee.
Recently, he has taken possession of his big brother: "My J." Of course, it does a mama's heart good to hear this. But, with his arms wrapped around me, this is what makes me melt into a pool of mama goo:
"My mommy."
Yes, my sweet little boy. I am your mommy.
