On Saturday evening when Lynne and Jim brought Liam back home he was running around saying “Bing, Bing, La, La” which apparently he had been saying all the way home in the car. We had no idea what he was trying to say (he’d never said it before, but he was repeating it emphatically so we knew that he knew what he was saying, even if we hadn’t a clue). On Sunday he progressed to “Bing, Bang, La, La, Faster, Faster!” Then we knew: He was reciting part of his favorite book “Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel.” He has progressed now and is saying “Bing, Bang, Crash, Slam, Louder, Louder, Faster, Faster…Hooray, Mike Mulligan!” (in his own special dialect, that is…). My mom and I also caught him “reading” Sheep in a Jeep yesterday (we heard, “Beep, Beep! Mess. Help. Sheep. Jeep!” from the other room while he was turning the pages). I’m ecstatic about this kid’s love for books!
Another mystery solved!
