I received this email update about my "30 month old" and think it's pretty humorous in light of Margo's verbal prowess.
"Your child is becoming increasingly good at matching words with the objects they describe. She can name a few body parts, some colors, and even a friend or two. You can help her improve her verbal skills by giving her details. If she says, "Dog sleep," for example, you might say, "Yes, Spot is curled up and fast asleep on the chair." She can't imitate your complex language patterns just yet, but she's learning more all the time."
"Dog sleep"? Are they serious? When I sent this to Jon, his reply was, "is our daughter some kind of freak?". Maybe they are just attempting to make all the parents with slower kids feel better.
Solomon was definitely on the slow side of speech and I don't remember him putting just two words together at this age. He was quiet but able to talk when he wanted to.
Beautiful day today, I think I actually got a little bit of a sunburn! We took the kids out and meandered about town all day. It felt good to walk around out in the sun, although I think I was actually overdressed. Or maybe 70 just feels like 90 to me now after winter?
