lexicon of a toddler
paul is one talkative little guy. unfortunately, i don't understand him most of the time. "i'm sorry, i have no idea what you're saying" is probably the thing i say most often, second only to "do you need to be changed?" he has his own vocabulary -- mostly made up of garbled real words, but there are a few code words that mean something completely different. it makes sense he does this -- hell, the kid made up signs.
