"Daddy, I wann'a new cup... with milk in it... and a new bowl... with squares... and a new spoon (pause) with no milk on it." "Oh yeah?" "Yep, that's what I want." "And what else?" "With no milk on it." "No... You forgot the magic word?" "Pleasssssssssssssssssssse!" Pretty far removed from the kid who didn't start talking until 2. It's still hard to pick up a few words, unless like me, Ma and Our Eldest you are fluent in Dasherese. But, he sure can string the words together. The best part is when he is really trying to pronounce a word correctly. Though he's not quite got the annunciation down, his concentration causes the best emphases.
