Words, Words, And More Words

Cooper has just truly discovered language and is quickly learning what a powerful tool it can be! He is constantly saying 'please' and 'thank you' - SCORE! The kid never stops.

New words are pretty holiday-specific: 'Christmas tree' and 'lights' and 'reindeer'. Can name all the main Mickey Mouse characters. Cooper also says 'oops' in an interesting way.... No vowels in his pronunciation. Remember the song 'MMMBop'? Kinda like that!

Language is both spoken and manual in Cooper's World. Frequent signs include 'love' and 'train' and 'ice skating' and 'read book" and 'run' and all the animals and lots lots more.

Maria can not use her voice and only sign with him - and he absolutely understands everything she is saying. Way cool. Bilingual all the way!
