On language: absorb and repeat
January 19th, 2010 by Scott
Niko has reached the age (three) where he is mixing things he hears us say a lot in with his standard vocabulary. I’m not sure he always understands what he is saying, but it certainly is a riot to hear him say it.
Examples:
- You have got to be kidding me!?
- For crying out loud!!
- You’re always causing trouble dad
- I’m a little bit shy
He also still struggles with his “th” words which is adorable:
- Does anybody want to play wis me?
- I sink I’m getting a little bit tired
- What is dis?

With the tongue on the bottom of the front teeth and the tip of it sticking out just a little beyond the teeth a speaker can produce a th sound both voiced (sound coming from the vocal chords) and unvoiced (just air). It might make an occasional game now and save trouble with phonics later.
