Abby Latin

As Abby has begun to speak more and more I have seen a strange pattern in her words. I hope it isn't cause for concern, I guess I will have to ask about it at her next doctors appointment. But, until then, it is kind of cute. The mix up seems to be with words that start with the letter "s". She drops the first s and adds it onto the end of the word. I call it Abby latin (kind of like pig latin). Here are just a few examples:

Spoon = poons
start = tarts
store = tores

You get the idea, its pretty cute....and my family gets quite a kick out of it. On a more normal note...she has been putting words together in little sentences pretty good now. She will say "bye-bye Grammy", "Go Duke" (she says that a lot when she is watching my brother play hockey), "Daddy work" is also another frequently used sentence. It is amazing to see her language skills develop as well as her comprehension. Yesterday, she had a boo-boo on her foot and she was having a fit when I was trying to put a band-aid on it. So, I looked at her and said "Abby, just let mommy put the band-aid on for a minute and if you don't like it I will take it off" She immediately stopped whining and wiggling around and say ok and she let me put the bandaid on her foot. She left it there for a minute and then said, "no, all done" and I took it off. I was pretty surprised she had understood what I said. Toddlers are amazing creatures, and Abby continues to impress me everyday!
