The small one has reached that phase in his development where his vocabulary really starts to blossom. Of course, he’s also benefitted from an older sister who likes nothing less than trying to get him to say certain things. His vocabulary has increased to the point where he’s not only saying a lot of new words but also using a number of mangled phrases: ”There you are!” “There it is!” “All done.” “I don’t know.” “Where is it?” And naturally, there are the classics: ball, keys, church, Papa, Mama, “Rorah,” ice, cracker.
But like his sister, he adopted quite a few words that are in his own language. Much like Norah with her ubiquitous “Da,” Levi had adopted “Hnn!” as his “yes.” As in: Levi, would you like to go to Granna’s house? ”Hnn!” Would you like a cracker? ”Hnn!” Would you like to go play in traffic? ”Hnn!”
Until recently. He’s replaced “Hnn!” with the ridiculously cute “Okay!” And the way he says it kinda makes it sound like a cross between the Geico Pothole Woman and <geekalert>the Peon from Warcraft II.</geekalert>
There are comedic pop culture possibilities here with training. (Levi – Dilute! Dilute! “Okay!” In what state does the Edwards family live? “O.K.!”)
