Orange

Tobin is expanding his active vocabulary, one syllable at a time. In fact, almost everything he says at the moment are one-syllable ‘words’ … except for when he lets pictures do the talking: last week he ordered a refill of orange slices by pointing back and forth from Eric Carle’s caterpillar‘s oranges to his empty bowl.

This week, ‘range is part of his repertoire. Here are some words he picked up since the last post. There are more daily, so i won’t post about this again until he actually speaks in real terms…
