Emma is getting pretty good with names. She may not be able to pronounce them clearly, but Emma can say the names of our immediate family, some close friends, and the entire U.S. House of Representatives (we're working on the Senate).
What she does not understand are pronouns. Here's a recent conversation I had with Emma:
SCOTT: (shows a picture of Andrew) Who's this?
EMMA: An-doo!
SCOTT: (shows a picture of Lisa) Who's this?
EMMA: Mama!
SCOTT: (shows a picture of himself) Who's this?
EMMA: Dada!
SCOTT: (shows a picture of Emma) Who's this?
EMMA: (points to herself) You!
SCOTT: No, Emma. That's not you, that's 'me'!
EMMA: (points to Scott) Me!
SCOTT: No. You're not me, you're 'you'.
EMMA: (points to herself) You!
SCOTT: (shoots himself)
