Come on!!

So Andrew is getting more words, weekly he has something new in his vocabulary, and while it's often hard to really understand it, he's trying. He is fairly patient about repeating what he is trying to say until we get it, and if he gets frustrated he just grabs someone and pulls them to what he wants. However, his independence and impatience in general is coming out with a new phrase he has picked up. that phrase is "come on".

It's impossible to describe just how he says it, but I'm going to try. It's got that impatient tone that you expect in a young child when they are tired of waiting for something, where the "on" portion is almost whiny, and gets higher pitched as the phrase goes on. Anyway, you get the idea.

Well the funny part is, Andrew has learned the phrase, and the tone, but not really the intent behind it. So he will request something, and immediately follow it with "Come on!", even if he's not anxious for it, or not in any hurry. He also uses is constantly, so his requests have now become standard of the form "I want more juice please, Come on!".

It's actually hilarious, and it's all I can do not to burst out laughing when he asks for things that way (occasionally I fail and I do laugh). He never looks agitated when he asks for things this way, it's just become part of his speech, and a very amusing part, at that. :)
