Pronoun confusion
Our 3-year-old has a vocabulary well above most kids his age. We've heard the same from family, day care and school, so it's not just us who think so. His grasp of syntax and grammar seems truly remarkable.
Except for pronouns, that is.
If he's asking me whether Mom can come sit at his bedside, here's his sentence: "I want she to sit with me."
If it's food: "Mommy can get my snack. I want she to do it."
And for clothing: "Those belong to Mommy. They're she's slippers."
It makes sense, in a way. He seems to understand what pronouns are all about. Just can't seem to pick the right ones from his available list.
Honestly? It's the kind of thing I'll really miss as he gets older. He won't see the innocent charm of his misstatements.
But I'll always have the legacy -- right here.
