Grammar, Sentence Patterns and Vocabulary

Daddy wants me to note these down because he finds it amazing. Reese's speech is getting more sophisticated. He understands certain rules in forming sentences. He knows how to use 'ing' in his sentences. For example, if we say "The door opens", he can say "The door is opening". It is also clearer for him now when to use pronouns like 'me', 'I' and 'you'. He also understand better singular and plural and most of the time he will add 's' when referring to something plural. Pretty good at using articles too. Sometimes in his sentences, he will use past tense! Well, not that he understand the concept but more in imitation of what we say...hehehe...

His pronunciation is also getting better. He can pronouce words like hieroglyphics and hipopotamus.

As for vocabulary, he is picking up many words from us, cartoons and books. He knows alot of instruments by name from panpipes to acordian, he knows China and Egypt, he knows what hieroglyphics means, he knows a number of sea creatures like scorpian fish to puffer fish, bowling to badminton and many many more. It's just amazing how much he can absorb!
