angel communication

he's 2 yrs and nearly 3 months. babbling, speaking, expressing himself. to the untrained ear, it sounds like gibberish. to this mama of another son who was speaking clearly by 8 months, my younger son is a lesson in how a child living in a trilingual environment tries to grasp the rudiments of english, tagalog, and dutch in order to get his message across. it's a linguist's dream!

my older son, turning 6 this april, is grappling with the multiple layers of semantics, and his child-like incisiveness never fails to amaze me.
