Kids say the funniest things!

Ivan likes to replay conversations, especially ones we've had repeatedly. He will go up to something he is not supposed to touch and say "no, no, no" or bring us something taboo saying "no" all the while. I guess it's good that he is openly confessionary about his acts! Since we only understand about half of what he is saying, we often ask him "what?" and proceed with a plausible list: "do you want a snack?" "are you thirsty?" "do you want some water?". Now, we hear him babble away, then in a pre-teen attitude way say "what?" (I hope I don't sound like that) and go back to babbling.

Probably the funniest one is the scream and shhhh! This only happened between the two of us once, but Ivan has decided it is a part of his repertoire. He will scream, put his finger to his lips and say "shhhh!" Often he does this little charade over and over. We happened to catch it on video, only he just does the replay once.

We just watched the video and jac loves it! she screamed when he did. we obviously watched it a few times. she kept screaming to watch it again and again. You should be able to figure out what he says i mean i saw him do the sign language on the other video is he doing other ones? jac is slowly learning. right now the most effective for her is to scream until she gets what she wants! Love ya guys
