November 7, 2004 - Sunday
In one of those cute and curious twists of toddler language fate, Jeremy has been calling himself and Harry pretty much the same thing. That is: Jeremy has finally turned the corner on first person pronouns and is regularly saying "I" instead of "me." "I want this. I did that" and so forth. Unfortuantely, his pronunciation for Harry continues to be some like "Aye-ee" and it takes a careful ear to detect the difference.

"'Aye' did it," he'll say.
"Why did you do that, Jeremy."
"No, Aye-ee, did it," he'll say emphatically.
"Oh, Harry did it," his mother or I will answer.
"Yes," frustration and contempt in his voice.
