Talk-ck

Harper talks and talks and talks all day and her vocabulary is growing by the minute. She does, however, still have her own ways of saying some things that we adore.
In the car, once finished with her raisins or other snack she will hold out her snack cup and say "all donet". Many words that end in an "n" sound now have a "t" added to them. On some days Lucy and I add that same "t" sound to the end of our words as well, just to show support.
She adds a very hard "ck" sound to anything ending in a "k" sound. So words like book become "book-ck". And so on, "bus" becomes "busss" and "nap" becomes "naP".
Ian does the best impression of Harper's talking and I overhear him talking in Harper-ese often at night. Lucy usually asks "why does Harper talk like that?"

I have to say it does help us understand her. Words don't blend together and her jibber jabber is actually filled with real words now. Ok, now this entry is all donet.
