Yay, Dat!

Written by Gerard on Tuesday 17 July 2007

Daniel's latest phrase is "Yay, dat!" It used to be just "Yay!" whenever you offered him something he wanted (usually food), but this last couple of days he's been adding "Dat". Meaning "that" in case you were wondering. One of the funniest things about him is the zeal he puts into this. You'd honestly think he'd won something. In general, Dan's speech is coming along pretty well. A few months ago he used the almost universal "Ushhh" to refer to anything and everything. These days it's more refined. You'll hear "Nink" when he wants a drink, "RoRo" when he's talking about his sister and a very clear "Jakey" for his brother. I had a brief bit of flashcard play with him tonight and was impressed with how well he repeated some of the words. It'll be interesting to see if he starts remembering the words and using them every day.
