Out of the mouths of babes

Jack is definitely getting a bit more talkative. We're pretty sure that he says "cat" when Floyd makes an appearance, and his "da-da-da's" seem more directed at yours truly. He also likes to say "vroom" when he pushes his toy car across the floor. Webster's doesn't list "vroom" as a word, but what do they know? Hacks.

In addition, Jack is developing sentence structure in his language. Just this morning he said, "Daddy, please tell mommy that holly berries are somewhat poisonous to young children and that the trees themselves are unsightly; we should remove them from the premises forthwith." Kids say the darnedest things ...

  1. I think vroom is in the OED, which is all that really counts anyway.
    Such precocious language skills and knowledge of poisonous foliage, I am impressed!
