Mckaylee can talk pretty good, but sometimes she gives things a different name.....Bandaids she calls Ribbons....etc.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Always. He may not always ask, but I can tell he is confused at the times he does not ask, it is mainly with Kellie though. Or he may say "okay" in response to her asking a question, that requires more than an "okay".

Another perk of being a mom, we can translate faster than their dads.

My3LilMonkeys replied: We are very back and forth here - if he can't understand Brooke he says go tell Mommy, if I can't understand her I say go tell Daddy. But we work opposite shifts and both spend about the same amount of time with the girls.

JAYMESMOM replied: Unfortunately that is me most of the time because they create names for things while I am at work so I am in the dark. She has stayed home with daddy since August when he was injured so they have their own thing going on.

Crystalina replied: If he is home he can pretty much understand and I don't let him ask me to translate in front of them. I don't want him to hurt their feelings. When I know he doesn't understand I will repeat it and he responds then. But usually at home it not that bad. On the phone, now that is a differant story. Since he's gone alot there are alot of phone conversations and when I get back on the phone he'll ask "What the heck was that about ?". It is really hard on the phone though, sometimes I can't even understand them. Izabella sounds like Minnie Mouse.

mummy2girls replied: aron oes this all the time. I am the only one that knows her little language so he gets upset when he cant undersatnd her...

Haven't gotten there yet, but when I used to be a nanny, (this is 100% true) the children's own PARENTS would sometimes ask me what their OWN kids were saying...pretty sad that I knew their kids better than they did...

luvmykids replied: Once in a while I have to translate for him but Macie talks pretty well for her age, most people understand her.

MamaJAM replied: DH doesn't have any more trouble than I do understanding the boys. There are some words that DH gets faster than me...and vice versa -- so we help each other out. Actually - the girls are pretty good too...they sometimes tell me what the boys are saying.

But.....the grandparents are constantly asking me what the boys are saying. Examlpe -- not many people know that when DS#2 asks for a "hobo" he wants a granola bar.

MM'sMama replied: No he understand Brice pretty well. However sometimes he doesn't understand Luci and I have to explain. Its the English/Spanish language barrier still.

CantWait replied: Yup, but I think it's only because he's not here very much lately. He just thinks it's the funniest thing though.

Brias3 replied: Yea, he has it totally off sometimes with the interpretations of Mason's words. Mason will just get exasperated and say Mom- say Dad! (Meaning, Mom, tell Dad what I'm saying! LOL) Mason speaks fairly well but I guess I'm used to his talk too. My husband says we need to invent a Mason dictionary

Josie83 replied: Mot so much now that she's four (four!!!!) but when she was little, god yeah. Even though he probably spent the same amount of time with her as I did. Sh's only just now starting to grow out of her speech problems (with a bit of help form the speech therapist ) but I think I've always been to understand her okay. I remember her being sooooooo upset one day when Jaosn couldn't understand that she wante dhim to help her find her bricks (she pronounced it drits) - she was inconsolable! xx
