I knew I’d regret Charles learning to talk. He’s gone hard core with asking “why?”. I know get that very frequently when I try to get him to do something.
I think Charles uses “drive” to mean “go on the road”. He’s also picked up “done”. He knows that Mom and Dad like to finish dinner before gratifying boy whims so he’ll ask us now when we momentarily stop shoveling food, “done?”. Not to mention that “peas” [please] has become Charles’ verbal weapon of choice.
The most annoying verbalism he has, though, is using “nan” for “that”. I’m really not sure where he picked that up. But of course he also uses “nah” for “no” so sometime it’s very hard to figure out what he means. I have to cycle through the cars on his driving game while he says “nah” for the wrong cars and “nan” for the right one. Since he frequently needs to cycle a couple of times through the entire set it’s a bit tiring.
But he is insufferably cute when you ask him something, “would you like to go outside” and he gives this little nod while looking very silent and serious, as if it were a grave decision.
