Look Who's Talking!

I started to think about V and A and language today and they are not just talking, as in repeating words or singing songs, they are expressing themselves! There is such a huge difference. They talk to each other (A usually cocks her head and says his name to convey the importance of what she is saying) and they know what they mean. L and I understand them the most (F needs a translator). I understand 90% of what V wants to say and maybe 70% of A's talk. The new element is that they are really truly speaking. As far as they are concerned, they are telling me and everyone anything they need to, the frustration of speech limitation has subsided. This is going to be make me trying to have them pass for under two years old to save money on admissions and such a bit tricky! Just today V out on a hat and said to L"QuĂ© lindo"! Yesterday V scolded A  as she kicked the crib "Se rompe, A, not funny. Papi dice not funny, L dice not funny. Se rompe" as she laughed hysterically. A is all about "saca jama (piyaama) and "mete pema (crema)" and "pasta dientes- mi turno"- she is a big fan of personal hygiene products!
