What's in a word?

Munchkin is being very vocal. I think that it is the time he is spending with his Ah Mah (who I inherit my chattiness from)

A typical conversation goes like this:
Me: Morning Munchkin
Munchkin: "OOoh! Up! Up! Up! OOhh! Moke! (milk)Moke! Moke! Moke!" Daddeeee? Dadeeee? Wok Wok Wok(work)?
Me: Yes, darling daddy has gone to work in his car.
Munchkin: Voom! Voom! Voom! Byeeeee!
Me: Is that how Daddy's car goes?
Munchkin: 'essss! (yes)

Munchkin has also got a building repertoire of animal sounds. So far we have had, moo for cows, sssss for snakes, roarrrr for tigers, woof for dogs. quack for ducks and mauuuuuuu for cats. We also have actions for flying birds and woodpeckers.

He also says "Hiya!" and "Bye". But best of all, he says "Mam Mah" and he has chosen to say this while his Ah Ma is here. I think he reckons that his Mam Mah can rescue him from his evil parents.....and I know given the chance she would (although she is pretty scarily strict herself!)
