I didn't used to understand how parents could translate what their toddlers were saying and thought they were making it all up. But now that I've got one, I see that it's totally real--they speak their own language and you just get used to it! Some of Wren's words are SO cute! He's really talking very well for a boy his age, I think. Thanks for sharing!
