The weird thing is he also seems to know just when and how to use it and doesn't just come out with it willy-nilly. He's also remarkably tidy - very often he'll make a show of wiping the top of the coffee table and even makes an attempt at putting his toys away. He's a real chip of his dad's old block and therefore a delightful genius in every way! ;-)<BR/><BR/>P.S. I'm sure Karen had some major input in this as well...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-65130627799317506352008-11-21T13:30:00.000+01:002008-11-21T13:30:00.000+01:00Awww so sweet.

It was awfully early and I was convinced he was a child genius. The word was "cat" - or "ca" really. He'd point excitedly at our black & white cat and say "ca, ca, ca". A few weeks later we went to the zoo and we realised that the word "ca" did not refer to the cat at all but to black and white objects. So he waved his arms about enthusiastically and pointed at penguins and zebras, shouting "ca". Not quite the genius I thought he was. <BR/><BR/>I love emerging language though - one of my favourite phases with children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
