Yesterday evening, Sprocket and the babies were playing happily in the living room. Edward asked Evelyn: "What do we say to the puppy?". Evelyn replied with a wagging finger: "Stop it, puppy!"
This morning, when Edward brought Keith down to join Colin in the kitchen for breakfast, Keith greeted him with "Hello, buddy".
Each of them can say "Keith" perfectly, although Colin tends to come out as "Kahleen" and Evelyn was "Ai-ee" for quite a while. But today Keith managed "Evahleen".
They are talking up a storm! Evelyn is our little echo, repeating the last word or two she hears. All of them love to pick an animal for "Old MacDonald" (our tooth brushing song), although on occasion they come up with "cookie" or "chair". They continually amaze me with their vocabulary and comprehension.
Of course, in public, they tend to clam up. Their linguistic capabilities are my own personal Polka-roo - you'll just have to take my word for it!
