Just a quick question... do you correct Emer at all when she does this, by saying "yes, a triangle, well done!"? Asking because I'm a little concerned about my little ones speech, doesn't seem to be coming on as much as it should be by now, and having read your comment below am now wondering if my correcting him is delaying it? That and the fact I got a very disapproving glare from him this evening when he proclaimed "dat sasa!" to a see-saw on TV, and I said "yes, that's a seesaw, clever boy!". Should I be repeating the words properly after him, or just praising him for getting it as right as he did? Just looking for some advice, I guess, seeing as I'm a young single mother, and this is my first and only child, sometimes I really feel like I don't have a friggin' clue as to what I'm actually doing! And, in all honestly, I probably don't.
