Gunnar (our first son and second born) is three and has always been very verbal. It's not uncommon for this sweet-tempered little gent to launch into a soliloquy on something he's seen from his back seat or something he recently did. However, his notion of time and ability to express events past and future are not extensive. Examples:
"Daddy, you were a little kid yesterday, but now you are big [and bald]..."
"Last week, I was a baby, but now I'm big. Zane is a baby."
"Daddy, when it's my birthday tomorrow, I want a Transformer and a Buzz Light Year."
Zane (our second son and third born) is 15 months and is just learning to talk. Unlike Gunnar at this age, most of Zane's desires and wants get expressed through screaming/yelling. He is our little caveman with the constant runny nose who would rather grunt than say "please". However, he is starting to try and he seems to try hardest to make words when food is involved. Examples for the reader to discern:
"Peeez..." (this one's a gimme.)
"Kew-keee" (his first real word besides ma-ma or da-da.)
"I hep" (said while picking up the broom, his favorite toy.)
"Tee-tee!" (Zane's black lap companion whenever he is in his high chair.)
More to come...
