"Consider a mountain. On that mountain is a path that has been marked out carefully for each of us by Jesus. Jesus is at the top. The world is at the bottom. If we get on that path and begin to climb, we will reach Jesus. We climb the mountain through our daily yes to Jesus." - Anne, a lay Apostle

The Language of Two Year Olds
Mark is growing so fast. He has had a recent explosion of language, which is great. He is trying to say
everything.
Someone really should write a book, although I know it's different for everyone. I remember Andrew pronouncing some words we had trouble understanding like AniMULES for animals, but Markie is a whole different story:
zwink, pe = May I have a drink, please?
mine, bubble ik = I would like to buckle myself.
bubba cuck = garbage truck
mine do dat = I did that (he tells on himself all the time)
nano do dat = Andrew hit me or Andrew pushed me or Andrew took my toy away
Ho Mary Ga = "Holy Mary, Mother of God" The Hail Mary - that's his entire version.
One more thing I've just got to add. I guess it isn't REALLY two-year old language, moreso two-year old behavior, I guess. It is sooo funny NOW, but not at the time. The other day, I sent Andrew and Mark to the bathroom to wash their hands for dinner. After a minute, I hear, "MOOOOM, Markie is washing his hands in the toilet water".

ReplyDeleteThose are glasses that came with a doctor's kit that Andrew got for Christmas. Mark likes to wear them. It is so hilarious!
