Only from a Second Child . . .

For a few days, Matthew has been repeating "GOOO GIIIII" and "BAAA GIIII" as he roams the house. I had no idea what he was saying until this morning. It was a familiar scene in our house -- Cameron instructing me in my role for our morning-long play.

Cameron: Okay, Mommy, me and you are good guys.
Matthew: GOOOO GIIII.
Cameron: And Matthew is the bad guy.
Matthew: BAAA GIII.
Cameron: And the good guys . . .
Matthew: GOOOO GIIIII!
Cameron: have to find the secret lair of the bad guy.
Matthew: BAAA GIII!

Comprehension dawned, and then incredulity. Are these normal first words? "Good guy" and "bad guy?" But, come to think of it, living with Cameron means that Matthew hears these words day in and day out.

Could Cameron start teaching Matthew to say Grandma Linda?
