Complex sentences
Isaac's sentence-structuring, just over the past week and a half, has exploded such that he sounds more like a debate-team captain than a toddler. He has always been very verbal, but now it appears that things are just not worth saying unless they come in multi-sentence packages liberally sprinkled with adjectives and qualifiers. Here are a few examples from the past two days.
At bedtime, after watching Finding Nemo in the big-people bed with Mamaw and Dadaw.
Mamaw: Isaac, do you want to sleep in here with Mamaw and Dadaw?
Isaac: No, I not. I go sleep in my cozy Isaac bed with my truck comforter.
At Bob Evans, people-watching as we wait for our food. Isaac sees another small person, a boy, wearing a sock cap with a pom-pom on top, being carried out of the restaurant by a daddy-figure.
Isaac: Mommy, see that snowman guy? He's leaving with his Daddy.
At Bob Evans, as Mommy entertains Isaac by trying to hang a spoon off her nose.
Mommy: Isaac, look! What am I doing?
Isaac: No, Mommy! The spoon doesn't go there! That's where the boogers come out.

Wow! I'm impressed with all those words! Can he come over here and help some of my little ones find some words instead of grunting?!
HA! Smart little booger, he is!
I love that. Liam is trying to talk in paragraphs but his words are still a bit unclear. And it's good that he knows that a spoon is not for boogers. That may change.
