Sunday Sayins’ with Mindy
Every kid goes through that “I’m doing it myself” stage and each one comes up with their own unique stamp to use to let you know to back off.
I have heard from other kids (including Kari): My felf! My do it! My turn! Me do! Kari do!
What is Mindy’s? “I want to do it like my own big girl self!” And she enunciates each word, except “girl” sometimes sounds like “gal”. But that’s it. This kid may just pass me up as being the biggest mouth in the world.
And where is Joe on the language front? Well, he really only uses three words without prompting: ball (an essential in Maleland), mine (an essential in Mindyland), and bye-bye (an essential in Socialskillsland). And somehow all needs are met. Who needs all those other 44,997 English words anyway?
Apparently, Mindy does.
