Once again Elliott is going through a language boom. It has been really noticeable by most of us who are around him regularly. His vocabulary has probably doubled in the last two weeks and we are hearing a lot more sentences and sentence fragments. Never mind that there are times when we can carry on complete conversations, which is still so amazing to me :)
However, perhaps what has tickled me more than his language growth, of which I am extraordinarily tickled, is the funny associations he has made when identifying some objects. Here are a couple that have popped out at me over the last week or so:
dental floss: "hair" - pretty much any long, skinny, string-like object is currently being dubbed 'hair'
hair rubber band: "tail" - in homage to my occasional pony tails
protein powder: "loud noise" - because protein powder goes in the blender, of course!

Oh, the words and his interpretations and perceptions are awesome. My favorite new words are
"humm-us" and "toot" (said with a little smile).
Always Amazed, Grandma L.
