See Tyler Grow

Thursday, October 30, 2003

Sometimes I wonder if I'm screwing Tyler up by talking to him in Spanish. He always gets very quiet when I begin speaking to him and stops being as participatory as he usually is when we talk in English. Then, lately I've noticed he is saying some English words funny. Every morning when I put lotion on my legs, Tyler asks for some on his legs. But suddenly he's saying yeg as if it's with the Spanish double-L sound (which sounds like a Y). And he says neck as though the N had the squiqqly horizontal line over it. Nnneck. Just some recent discoveries. Last night while paying a visit, Grandpa said "Bing" and the light bulb turned on over my head. Aha, maybe that's where Tyler got this funny thing he does. "Bing" to the computer. "Bing" to the birds. Of course, Grandpa's wasn't the throaty, excited "Bing" that Tyler's sounds like, but maybe the mystery has been solved.
