He knows! Harry knows I am "dad" and Paavo is "cat." This morning his mother brought him into our bedroom where I was still lying in bed and as soon as he saw me he said "dad." He's done that before and we've never been sure whether it was coincidence, but this morning Paavo the cat was in a corner of the room. When Harry's commotion began, Paavo decided it was time to advocate for breakfast. Harry immediately turned toward him saying "cat, cat, cat." That was two words in just a few seconds aimed at an appropriate subject, but that's not all: Harry did it again. When I praised him for his astuteness, he turned back to me with "dad." Then, Paavo reasserted his call for breakfast and Harry marked it again with "cat." That's enough for me: Harry knows words!
