Mommy, I wanna see the brown bears now."
"Okay, baby."
"How do you get him to talk like that?" Tia asks amazed, and a bit rude if you ask me.
It never really hit me that Chris spoke so well, I haven't been around many kids to know how each behaves.
"Um, well, Chris has always been a fast learner. He learned to walk at 8, almost 9 months old, and said his first word around the same time."
I know this because Mani has already told me.
"My friend has a four year old and he only speaks gibberish." Tia laughs like it's a joke. "You can only understand, like, about a word in every sentence he says."
"All children are different." Mani smiles kindly, and obviously not wanting to say anything rude.
Maybe if her friend didn't speak gibberish to her children, they wont speak gibberish. And like Mani said, every child is different. There are times I don't understand a word or two that Chris has said so I needs Mani to translate, but other than that, he's easy to understand and is very vocal about his wants and needs.
"I couldn't help notice, Chris understood Spanish?" I change the subject, curious and wanting to know.
