We’re having a language explosion over here.

One day I left the girls with my friend Mandy and Aeralind gave Mandy her cup and said (apparently plain as day) “Will you hold this please?”  I was floored!

Things like “Self-control” and “Patience” and “Nonsense” and “Wait please” are coming out of their mouths on a regular basis.

Bronwyn told daddy that her “Noggin hurts” after she bumped it.  Derek and I never use the word noggin!  They’re like little language sponges!

However… lots of words are still an still undecipherable for a week or longer.  Here’s a little toddler language pop quiz.  I’ll post the answers in a the comments next Monday.  In the meantime: you take a stab at the answers.  If someone (besides my husband :-p) can get all 5, I’ll try to figure out a little prize 🙂
