receptive language skills |

After reading about Benjamin's 6th and 7th signs, a friend wrote:
My reply:
Where's the list of the words he's articulated orally? I may have missed it.
My reply:
I'm afraid we haven't kept one. He repeats a lot of things once or twice, but the only "words" he uses regularly are mama, papa, and buh — which originally meant "Bones" but now seems to mean any little creature on 4 legs. He often repeats the rhythm and number of syllables correctly without necessarily getting any of the phonemes right.
His receptive language skills are getting more impressive, but also noticeably lopsided, meaning he knows more French than English.
Où est ton nez? He points to his nose.
Où est ta langue? He sticks out his tongue.
Où sont tes cheveux? He grabs some of his hair.
Où sont tes oreilles? As of today, he'll grab an ear.
But Where's your nose? Where's your tongue? Sometimes.
Where's your hair? Where are your ears? Rarely.
