Nel Mezzo del Cammin

Those who know J, know that he is a little speech delayed. His speech is coming along nicely but sometimes he still comes out with funny ways of saying things. We do try and correct him, as we should, but some of the words are words that make him him!

I just had some Vogel’s toast for breakfast and he got all excited, and asked me if he too could have some bread with sprinkles. Sprinkles being the nuts and seeds which are cooked into the loaf.
He also uses sprinkles to explain the sesame seeds that are sometimes used on the Sushi we buy.

When I was making a cake last night for L to take to work today, J asked me “mamma, what are you doing? Spinning?”. Yes, stirring in J’s language is spinning. “Please mamma, can I spin it?”.

N also appears to have a similar speech delay as the only word he really says at 18 months is mamma, although we think he is making a valiant effort at bird, book and ball.
