Nathan has spoken...

Tonight Nathan blew us away. We had decided to get take-out from In-n-Out Burger. The burgers were fine, but the fries were possibly the worst that we have ever tasted. Imagine McDonalds fries, then let them go cold. Leave them out for a day or so, re-fry them and then put them in the oven. You get the idea. Anyway Clayton and I were commenting on how bad they were and had decided that we were not going to eat them. Judah eventually agreed that they were not very nice and gave up on them. All of a sudden, Nathan butts in and says to me, "I like them muma." After I had got over my initial shock at his perfectly formed and pronounced sentence, I decided that I had better respond and interact with him. Here is my 19 month-old not only speaking to me in a complete sentence, but he is also asserting his opinion and demonstrating that he understands and follows conversation that is not moderated and simplified for his understanding. For a while now, he has been using a handful of useful well worn 2-3 word phrases like, "Wha' daddy doin'?", "No, I don' wan' dat!", "Sorry mummy" and "I wan' milk" or "I wan' dat." But never quite as sophisticated as we heard tonight. I think we have another talker!
