Pronoun Swap at 2
I love observing how the children go through the different stages of picking up the language grammar rules. Two weeks ago Greg and the children pick me up from work from my desk. A nice coworker attempts to talk to the Gaius (2yo), and gets this quite stern, serious answer: Gaius: Me miss Mommy! After which Gaius protectively grabs my hand and drags me away. Now, two weeks later Mara, holding a handful of carefully selected grapes: Whoever is a kid and wants a baby grape, raise your hand up. Gaius: I'm raising my hand up! Mara: That's not raising it enough. Gaius, stretches it really high: I'm raising my hand up! Mara, with a satisfied smile: Yeah, that's it! You're doing it. Here is a grape. Did you see the "Me" vs "I'm" shift?
