I took Tee for her Hepatitis A jab yesterday and her Paeditrician was really impressed at her level of speech. She is forming grammatically correct sentences of 7-10 words and he was just like “WOW!!!”
I wasn’t sure how to feel. Pride would be the most natural thing to feel, right? But I didn’t feel anything.
I guess it is because I believe that any kid would be just as advanced with his/her speech if his/her parents spoke up to them and not use ‘baby’ language. When I was single and babyless, I remember being terribly impressed with my friend’s four year old girl using the word irritating. My goodness! That is such a big word for a little girl, I exclaimed to my friend who laughed explaining she told her daughter frequently not to be irritating.
But now little Tee at two and a half years old, uses four syllable words in the correct context all the time. Words like observation, stationary, invincible, necessary. No wonder people fall off their chair sometimes when they hear her speak! Her pronounciation’s not quite there yet though. She cannot pronounce her ‘L’s and ‘R’s still so it’s quite cute and funny when she speaks. Also hospital recently gets muddled up as ‘hostipal’.
I guess making the effort to talk continuously to a baby really does pay off.
Bloody exhausting!!!
But if you want a toddler that talks a LOT, start talking now to that baby in the womb. Non-stop!
