Recently, I've caught myself with my mouth wide open saying, "Did I just hear that?" more than once. Elijah has begun copying words here and there! At first, I was wondering if I was just going crazy and imagining it because I lack hearing intelligible words through out the day. It also happens that E-man doesn't repeat these words over and over again for others to hear (of course!). But, I'm pretty sure of what I've heard...
His favorite word of all is 'da-da'. A few smatterings of 'ma-ma' and 'ba-ba' can be found. He's also said 'kitty' several times when the cat is walking towards him. (Da-da and kitty are the only two words we're sure that he knows what they mean, by the way.) He's also copied 'Jesus' (when I was singing "Jesus loves me"), fish, and water. It's quite fun... but also humbling. As I wrote in the title- be careful little mouth what you say! He'll be copying more and more. I need to think about what I say and how it'll impact him.
May my words be uplifting and encouraging!
I've run into that with Hannah! "oh shoot" doesn't sound so bad when I say it, but when it comes from the mouth of a 2 year old it's not so nice sounding!!! :) I have found myself being much more careful with the word I use!
ReplyDeleteI also have to be careful in the car!!! Levi will now say "Whats the matter mommy?" and I am quite sure nothing is wrong with your hearing! He is really saying what you are hearing!
