21 Words

Sam is a man of few words. Not that we are worried about it, but Christy read somewhere that they should be able to say 21 words by 21 months. This means we have until Sept. 4 to get 21 words out of him. Which, of course, means I need an action plan. So far he knows "backpack" and "Spongebob". So one strategy would be to change the channel from Nickelodeon to Noggin. Then at least he can learn "Bing" and "Bong". Do they count as words? (note to self, track down the person who came up with the 21/21 rule and see if Bing and Bong count as words). I have this plan to not let him go to bed on Sept. 3 until he says his 21st word. I'm getting one of those interrogation lamps like the FBI uses. If you come to the house that night, you might hear "just say purple and the blanket is yours".

Coincedentally when i was reading your post about Noggin, the show was on (girl with pink hair-don't know name of the show) that has the song with "Bing bong"-- I told Shayna about what you wrote and she said that is from the show that was on.
