Names

Tyler is in the stage of talking where if you pay close attention you know most of what he says, but sometimes you kind of have to know his language to understand. It makes it very cute and many times funny.

For a while he's been calling Shawn "Naw", and since Luke has been born he has been "Yuke". But he never said Kayla's name. Whenever I would point to her in person or in a picture he would just skip over her and point to someone else. I think he just couldn't figure out how to say it. Then one day, about a month ago, he was trying to get Kayla's attention saying, "Dow. Dow!" I wondered if this was his name for her, so I brought him a picture and started asking everyone's name. I got to Kayla, pointed to her and he said, "Dow."

I'm not sure how "Dow" sounds like Kayla, but it works for him. And we laugh and smile every time.
