Does anyone else's 4yr old do this....

[Fruitbatlings]

Whenver I say something to DS he repeats what I've said as a question (when he listens of course )
Eg (conversation just now)
Me: Your arm is covered in ketchup
DS: Covered in ketchup?

Or

Me: Dinner's ready
DS: Dinner's ready?

Or

Me: Can you get dressed please?
DS: Get dressed?

It's driving me mad!

No, but my DH does it. Bah.

My ds does this - he is only 3.2. think its just a practising language thing.

Do you or your DH do that to him?

Even if it's just to make sure you understood him?

My friends DS was the same and she couldn't understand why until i pointed out that she did it to him all the time!

Yeah but my DS is approaching 5, he's had a lot of language practice!

Not that I'm aware of spicedgerkin....

My dd age 4 does similar but actually I think it's worse.

e.g.
ME: Grandma's coming to see us today.
DD: Who's coming to see us?
ME: What did I just say?
DD: Grandma's coming.
ME: Yes.
DD: Who's coming Mummy?

...and 100 other times through the day.

I think she does it to keep my attention in case I start paying attention to either of her older siblings. Maybe a third child attention tactic. Really annoying though.

Oh yes, DS does this too. infuriating
