Echo

Yesterday, we had some neighbors over for dinner and play some games. We had two couples over. After dinner, which was a great success again with the crock-pot lasagna, we played Apples to Apples. We had a really fun time.

One of the neighbors had Bug on their lap while they played. Among the laughing and talking, if you listened really hard you could hear Bug talking. He would occasionally say "umm", "here we go", and other cute phrases. I realized a little bit later that he was copying (or at least doing his best when he couldn't) everything the person who's lap he was sitting on said. She had a little echo, and the cutest one at that. He would also laugh with us, though he had really no idea why we were laughing. It was so cute to hear him copy everything she said down to the umms.

He is starting into the copying stage, and we will have to be careful with what we say now-a-days. Not that we have the worst of language, but I shudder to think of him saying negative things that on occasion I say. Time to get Language Guardian! (as opposed to TV Guardian...)
