Christian was slow to start talking. Part of this had to do with a very talkative older sister who often spoke on his behalf. However, in time, he came around to speaking on his own, all be it, a little different than normal English. To best describe it, we can't decide if he is Italian or a little Indian boy. He either adds an "a" to the end of his words, or he only verbalizes two word sentences. For example:
'Rub-a my feet' - when asking mommy to massage his feet
'Brush-a teeph' - when asked to brush his teeth
'Look-a me' - when trying to get our attention
'Push-a me' - when asking to be pushed on the swing
'Doing Daddy?' - for what are you doing daddy?
'Funny. . . me' - when trying to say he is funny
'Watch-a Yion King' - when wanting to watch his favorite movie
'Go hunt camp' - when asking to go to the hunting camp with daddy
'Jasim pretty'- for Princess Jasmine being pretty when he saw her
'Drink-a juice' - when asking for a drink of juice
'Ride-a four weeder' - When he wants a ride on the four-wheeler
'Not working' - when he is standing at the toilet, trying to pee but can't
'Working' - when pee is coming out while standing at the toilet
'I shake it' - when done peeing :)
'So cited' - as he jumps up and down and is excited for something
'Get band-aid' - when he thinks he has a boo-boo that warrants a band-aid
'Happened Mommy?' - what happened mommy?
These are just a few. I love my little man and how he talks. He is finally putting sentences together more often,with a few more words in tact, but I don't want to forget the phrases he used on a daily basis. :)
when i put together a scrapbook of motherly "wisdom" from many other mothers for my sister in law's baby shower, i decided to read through the advice too... one of the ladies said that she tried to write down in a book all the cute things her son said so she would never forget them. anyways, her son just graduated from college and she said he still enjoys reading through that book! sounds like a great start for a book for christian!! love him, by the way!
