The 2 years were about mobility, the start of the third year seems to be about talking! Talk, talk, talk, that is what Ollie does. He carries on conversations with himself for hours, repeats his question to us 20 times after we've answered 20 times. He talks about things we've never heard of and we are expected to understand it all!
People who aren't around Ollie ask what he's saying. Most of the time, we can translate from toddler-ease to grown up with out a problem. There are instances when we have to guess and he has to repeat what he's trying to say several times. He doesn't get frustrated with it and just tries again. Once we figure it out and give him the answer, its back to 20 questions.
I'm sure this is just the beginning. It'll be interesting to see how he mangles the english language when he is understandable, but doesn't always know the right word.
