As a matter of interest, does anyone else's DC do this when they are learning to talk?

[giddykipper]

Repeats one syllable, so:

cat = catcat
car = carcar
raisins = rayray
Night Garden = gargar
Tombliboos = booboo
shoe = shoeshoe
sock = socksock

You get the picture!

[giddykipper]

Just mine then?

[whomovedmychocolate]

Yep but only certain words she used to say cat cat, chair chair and mum mum. It's only words she really liked.

[whomovedmychocolate]

She now repeats words only for effect. In particular

bugger, BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER BUUUUGGGGER!

[CarGirl]

yes her comfort toy is called dogdog

[meandmyjoe]

My ds says 'mum mum' never just 'mum' and when I ask a question he answers with 'yeah yeah' not just 'yes', that's all he says at the moment but it does sound like it's quite common!

[giddykipper]

Funny isn't it, I find it quite cute.

[Kelix]

yeah yeah
