Look Who's Talking

Both Dora and Julia are talking more lately, each in their own way. Julia is making a nice assortment of coos and other funny noises. She gets very excited when someone talks to her and makes kissing sounds.

Dora is learning grammar, and it's very interesting to hear the mistakes she makes. Most of them are very logical, when you think about it. For example, yesterday she wanted to read a story about "cleanupping." She also only uses subject pronouns (except for "me"), so she says things like "let's give the doll to she." Sometimes she puts the preposition in the wrong place, preferring the German construction where it comes at the end of the phrase.
