More Burly BabelOn:
· Having just seen Grampie Doug in the dining room, Burl got down off of his chair, looked around and asked, “Ampie? Ampie? Dere doo doe?/Where’d you go?
· “Dat doe day…”/That’s/It’s ok. – Often and especially when asked after the condition of his diaper.
· “Dere dee doe.”/Here you go.
· “Nor nelumb”/You’re welcome.
· Burl says “air” for where Ironman, birds and other superheroes, including himself, fly. “In da aye-er”/In the air, says he.
· Words whose pronunciations are indistinguishable – and therefore requiring a context in Burlyspeak – all manner of –men; IronMan, SnowMan, SpiderMan, SuperMan, BatMan.
· Some words of note; bird, owl, bubble (bo bubbu), inside/outside, bu-bu(computer), change sides (eye-eish booby).
· Counting sounds, mimics counting in contexts - he’s seen Ivo counting the stairs on the way down/up, counting multiples in picture books. Tonight on the way downstairs, he told me “5, 6, 8, orange.” He’s got a lot to keep track of! Also, he’s becoming more competent with colors. They aren’t all Teletubby-dependent, though many are Teletubby-based.
· At the Superstore, looking at toys that we’d already agreed - as a group - in the car and several times in the store that we weren’t gonna buy that day, but maybe we could get them for Xmas – which they know kicks butt – yet they have no idea when it is! Burl loved a couple things, one was a spiderman wrist mounted web shooter. “Home?” he said clutching the box. “Mine!” – turning around and walking toward the checkout counters. “Bu®L…” he said pleadingly. And finally, “Mis-Mis?”/Xmas? Cutie-pie:)
· Burl LOVES books – he’s not obsessing – but the word floats around. He has a long attention span, loves pointing/finding details in pictures. Love listening, sometimes reads along, sometimes repeats. Sometimes he looks at books himself. He reads a lot.
· This morning I asked Burl if he was cold. He said, “No – warm.”
