Words, Words, Words

Words. It amazes me how my two sons (2yrs, 3yrs) communicate with each other and with others.

The other day while we were going shopping, my two sons were seemingly having a conversation with each other. My wife and I couldn't understand a word they were saying but it seemed they understood each other.

Sometimes my oldest son will come up to me and try and explain to me what he saw on TV, but I am unable to understand him. Yet he can say words like telescope and airplane and cheese, but has trouble saying his siblings names and Mommy and Daddy. For a long time my oldest son called me Maw. Now he tries to call me by my first name like my step daughter does.

I am always trying to teach them new words and how to say other words, but it doesn't seem to be working. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
