Bye Bye Baby Talk: Toddler Words We’re Sad To See Go

~:: Catharsis ::~

I’ve written about it before, but as it consumes pretty much the 20% of my life not spent sleeping and working, it bears repeating: Little E can’t talk and Big A won’t such the FRACK up.

OK, so it’s a bit more complicated than that, but Husband and I DO spend a considerable portion of our time getting Little E to speech therapy appointments and working on his language skills at home while trying desperately to stop our ears from bleeding because of Big A’s incessant jabbering and ever-increasing list of questions (see figure A for specifics).  But even though we want Little E’s speaking skills to improve and are glad Big A’s already have, there’s also a downside.

Those cute little baby words.  We miss ‘em so much when they’re gone.
