Words abound

Gavin is starting to talk a lot more. His favorites:

No! (naturally)
Stop it!
Don't do that!
Too tight! (Said when he sees a diaper coming his way, let alone when I put it on. Shane saysI just don't understand what's it's like for a boy.)

Understanding that he is mirroring what he hears the most, I need to find some more positive ways to re-direct him as he is dangling from the ceiling fan.

His first non-copied sentence came the other night as we were watching Water Horse: Legend of the Deep. The Loch Ness Monster thing is angry and sees his nemesis, on the shore, which happens to be a dog that looks like Rosie, barking on the shore. After some roars and teeth gnashing, the dog's barking ceases....we can only assume what happened, as it is a kids movie after all. Gavin had no problem putting it together and thus his first real sentence: Didodaur bite Ro Ro!
