How to speak one-year old.

So lest you think little e doesn't have anything to say these days, here's a glimpse of life with him!

Whenever we see an airplane, taking off, landing, way high in the sky, or even on a stick, e points at it and yells with all his 1-year-old might, "air-na!"  I'm telling you, the kid has good eyes.  He is often the first to spot them, beating his dad and even his big brother.  Now that's saying something!  He also yells "choo-choo!" at any train, near or far, and the newest addition to his repertoire is "digga!" when we pass one of the 50 trillion diggers here in Korea.  Seriously, I think they must have more diggers per capita here than anywhere else in the world.  Oh, and cranes, there are a ton of those here too.  

At home, e loves to play with cars and balls, so I am often greeted in the morning by him yelling, over and over, "Car, car!  Ball, ball!"  Yes, he is a very excitable child.  He knows where the playgrounds are, and if we drive by one without stopping, he yells "slie, slie" (slide) and pitches a fit.  Or if I open the refrigerator, he has started saying "ya-ya" for yogurt, or "cheese."  He still has a very sweet sign language "please" and "thank you"  which sound more like "eese" and "ah-do."  (Side note:  N and e say the same "ah-do" for thank you.  No idea why they both say it that way!)  Lately though, both thank you and uh-oh have been followed by his own name.  So they come out, "ah-do Ei" and "uh-oh Ei."  Too cute.
