Learning Language
Date of occurrence:
July 30,2008.
Lil' Kc is almost 18 months old.
Last week, I was over at April's house and visiting with her and the boys. Each time we see lil' Kc, it seems like his vocabulary has grown. Instead of just vowels, he is throwing out more complicated words. Some are even real words, some are abbreviations, most are still totally encrypted, haha.
Opa came to pick me up and as soon as he stepped in the door, lil' Kc got the biggest smile and wanted to be held by him. Opa picked him up, instead of me (grin), but had to put him down again, because he was in urgent need of seeing the bathroom. He put Kc down, went to the bathroom with Kc following him all the way, until the door got closed on him.
Lil' Kc came running back to the living-room, stopped, made a movement with his hand as if he pushed something aside and said; "Piong!"
Both April and I looked at each other and she said:"That was a real word! I am not sure what it means."
I replied:"I think I do. It's like he is saying 'Opa is gone'."
I told lil' Kc that Opa was going to be back and he looked in the direction of the bathroom, saw Opa come back, and his little face lit up again.
I can't wait for him to talk to where we can understand him fully. I would love to know what goes on in that little head of his. I hope he has a feel for languages. I intend to teach him Dutch as well.
For now, he can teach me his language. Oma is an eager student. :-)

Oma has a very beautiful signature =)
"The pen is mightier than the sword" came to my mind when I saw the pen ^grin^
Audrey,
Thanks so much. I did not even consider that verse. What I had in mind was, to portrait 'old' times and age. You know the old saying: "Back in my time....". Grin.
But... I love your consideration much more, haha. I may stick to that one.
(((HUGS)))
God's Grace.
