I really love the way Charlie says a lot of things–his little voice with it’s toddler accent. Today we were looking at a toy catalog and saw a set called “Dog Academy.” He said “Oh! Dog Academy!” in a really low voice after I rad the name of the toy. I liked it so much I kept asking him to say “Dog Academy.” I don’t think I will ever tire of it.
Charlie has a really great understanding of language, inflection, etc. Like I will say to him “Charlie don’t eat anymore candy.” And he will respond with a hearty, eager and understanding “Ok! Ok, mommy,” while shaking his head as though he really understands what I am going through trying to get him to stop eating the candy. He does it totally to pacify me and then he goes and keeps eating the candy. He also uses that really low voice when he is pretending to play a sport, when he is trying to talk like a buddy to his father or another grown man, or when he sees older boys.
