Let's Talk Talk

Well... Jack now says "belly button". He is very good at repeating sounds. For instance, I have definitely heard him say "water bottle". But only once. He also says "hello" very clearly. And "An-na!"
Jack says lots and lots of different sounds; he just hasn't quite put them together in a standard format.

Thomas' new words all seem to be in the "oo" (prounounced as in "soon") family. For instance:

  • A cow says "moo".
  • A monkey says "moo oo oo moo oo oo moo oo oo".
  • An owl says "hoooooooo hoooooooo"
  • Anything circular that appears roughly near the top of the page in a book, or on the TV, or wherever, is a "ma-moon", aka balloon.
But the best is when Thomas & Jack talk to each other. Do you recall how the Japanese people sounded as they fled Godzilla?
That is exactly it.

And I almost forgot. I think I was trying to, actually.
Guess what Anna's favorite new phrase seems to be? Drumroll please...

"wit ya"

On this, I take the 5th.
