I always think of Bambi when Wright is talking. He is the king of generalizing a newly learned word to label all things like it. Like when Bambi learns the word "bird" and calls the butterfly "bird" or "flower" for the skunk. Think of that and you've got Wright. All vehicles (even planes) started out as "tractors". We have now branched out and can say "tractor", "truck", "booby" (bulldozer), "jet", and "ewww" (airplane). All colors are BLUE!!!! and don't try to tell him different!!! All shapes are "hearts", except circles, they are "balls". All drinks are "tea", except soda has become important enough to warrant its own label, evolving into "tea pop" and now just "pop"! Crazy boy!
Journey of course gives Wright a lot to listen to in a day. She currently has a case of the sniffles which is causing her voice some problems. Yesterday, Grandma Jackie said it sounded like Journey was going to lose her voice. I overheard Journey telling her cousin, Kylleen, today that she had bad news for her. Journey said, "Grandma Jackie said I'm going to lose my voice.". . .silence. . .and then Journey asked, "Do you know sign language?" Silly girl!
