Toddler Talk
Silas is in full-blown toddler mode and he is hilarious. He puts thoughts into sentences and points out things I do not notice. If he hears a plane going overhead, we usually don’t notice, but he is lightning quick to yell “ah-pah,” which is how he says airplane. He gets fixated on things he wants and can be demanding (and stubborn as a result) and he has a language that Bronwen and I are getting very good at translating.
Upon waking in the morning or middle of the night, he often yells instead of cries to get our attention. He usually yells that he wants to go downstairs to play with his choo choo. He prefers his mama be the first to hold him. And he sings an excellent version of Do-Re-Mi and can count to 5, often starting with 3.
Just before Christmas, we had cupcakes in the house. Silas calls them “cup-cups.” Instead of eat, he says bite, which he pronounces as “bot.” Upon walking into the kitchen one afternoon his eyes zeroed in on a cupcake on the counter. He immediately pointed to it and yelled, “I wan bot dat cup-cup!” Translation, “I want to bite that cupcake!”
