Ngingers

David's language is changing. Of course, for a toddler getting closer to 3, it does every day. I'm regularly surprised by things he says. Lately, he has no clue about prepositions. He says, "Play me" or "Sit me" (sit on daddy's lap, or sit with me). This morning already he said something new: "MY clothes" instead of "Day-did's clothes". He's also fascinated by his "ngingers", which he says a lot. He was pointing to his pinky, but he didn't know the names of the other ngingers, though he knows his thdumb. He's speaks in more full sentences more of the time, too. He's able to repeat words he hasn't heard before, and try to use them in the context he hears them.

He's getting better at different verb forms, past tense, present progressive...he's so expressive!

At the zoo, I wasn't at all sure how he knew about the frogs, but he knew something about them, and was looking all around for them. Everywhere there was water. His other favorite thing at the zoo was the kangaroos. He wanted to see them jump, so he kept saying "Jump!" to them, but they didn't move. He also liked the wallabies, which he couldn't quite say: wa-ya-bees. We saw the kangaroos 3 times!
