fleaDillo is actually pretty good at using complete sentences. Sometimes he elides the verb. I think it's that his pronunciation is less clear than Casper's was at this age that makes me surprised that he's as good a talker as he is.
Cute mistake: everything is "mines." Which is logical; things are Casper's, and Daddy's, and Mommy's, so why shouldn't it be "mines"?
He does the same lateral lisp thing that Casper did at this age, which I gather is common, but I had never registered it until I had kids: car is "kai", more is "moi", park is "pike", store is "steye."
I tend to assume Casper can talk almost as well as I can, so I am always surprised when I catch her in a grammatical error; recently, "ringed" for rang.
I don't do the drop off or pick up of Dillo at school, so I rely on him for information on what happens there. I knew about the singing; I know his friend is Adam; for some reason he always says, happily, "I had a bad day!" (which appears to mean the reverse); last night I think I learned that there is a hermit crab in his classroom (I would assume in a tank, although he said it was in a cup.)
Did I mention our bed came? It is a very nice bed. Still working about the general furniture arrangement of the room, which is complicated by the attic-ness (short walls). http://www.flickr.com/photos/casperflea/2885736083/
