4/30/2012 - evan uses substitution in songs

Evan has been singing a lot lately, whether out walking, eating, or just around the house, he would sing various songs to himself.  His more-often-sung songs lately has been: 1) (chinese) mama is the best in the world, 2) twinkle-twinkle little star [chinese & english], 3) old macdonalds had a farm, 4) row row row your boat.  This morning, he did something new.  Instead of singing the lyrics, he sang "bao" for every note to the tune of Old Macdonalds (i think).  He learned to do that on his own, we hadn't taught him that!  His language skills are developing really quickly lately.  He understands most of what we say and if it's something new, he can guess at the meaning after just once or twice.  He's still not counting conceptually or recognizing the concept of colors but I think he may soon.
