Just for you, Cats!
My first parenting lesson in language development occurred when I would stop at a convenience store to fill up the car’s tank so we could drive the 2-hours to visit family. Back in the day, one could leave children in car seats in a locked car long enough to enter the store to pay for the gas. When I exited the car, I would tell our son that I was going to get gas and would be right back. Each time, I would return with a bag of Cheetos and a bottle of water. Not long after several of these trips, my son asked for “gas” as I got out of the car. SMH. I realized he was requesting a bag of Cheetos... Language development!!
That’s precious.thanks for sharing.
