Help me decipher my toddler?

[EBDTeacher]

DS (21mo) keeps saying:

'tat weeyall'

He puts slightly different intonations on it so sometimes sounds a bit like 'that one' other times 'is it real?'. Sometimes weeyall rhymes with wheel, sometimes it has two syllables.

He says it ALL THE TIME and it's getting a bit frustrating not knowing what he means!

'Is that real?' Have you told him that something on tv isn't real recently?

"That'll be all?" Are you his staff? :o
My DS says "Galeeee galeeee". Absolutely no idea.....

That'll be all?

It does sound like 'That'll be all'. Maybe he's heard me saying it to the butler.

It's usually in the context of 'oh look at this thing' but he says 'look, mummy' perfectly clearly when he wants to show me something and says 'tat weeyall' to himself as often as he says it to me.

It's not babble though- it obviously means something to him.

Cat miaow? That one? That wheel (for anything round)? That's well done?

That wheel?

is it the end of a song or nursery rhyme? They often latch on to the ends of songs, theme tunes etc.

Or is he trying to say his name, yours, or siblings?

He did go through a phase of calling all circles wheels and then for a couple of days 'wheels' was a generic term for any vehicle (even a plane ). However, they have all reverted to being their proper names now.

I actually thought today it might be 'cat miaow' but god knows why he would be announcing that so often but then, he is a bit odd.

He doesn't seem put out at not getting a response to it so it must just be a toddler nicety.

Cat wheel?!

I didn't speak until really really late - then my first words were "shop sells cars daddy" nice to see I formed my shopping love at an early age
P.s my second phrase was "shop sells shoes"

Haha brighthair love the fact that shopping made you talk!!

DS talks a great deal and I would say I understand 80+% of it which is why it's so odd he has this one completely indecipherable phrase.

He's just having a paddy now about not being able to open the baby gate and shouting 'moo me, moo me (excuse me), TAT WEEYALLLLL!'

Maybe its 'that way'??

'Out way' or 'out the way'!

Is it 'that me' something? Maybe he's trying to say something is his?

Swap the w for an r and he might be saying "that's right!" Do you often tell him "that's right" when he points to something and gets the word right? Could he just be stamping his authority as they do? DDs in "Geego", which we THINK might be good girl.

When is is pronouncing 'and it shall be so' he says 'okay'. So 'Me apple, okay' means he is definitely getting an apple cue tantrum if there isn't one.

We think 'tat weeyall' must be 'this should be occuring'. So 'Mummy (waves train) tat weeyall' is along the lines of 'Mummy you should really be looking at this not mumsnet.

I still don't understand how he's put it together though.

Babydoll we also have 'gogoy' (good boy) which he regularly pats himself on the back with!

Thanks for all the ideas!
