Ivan: Example of Current Sentence Structures

"I want nothing else to eat, mama," when Ivan actually is standing at the fridge with the door open, scamming the fridge for something to eat (something being cheese).

"I don't like that," he likes to announce, even if it's something he's never seen or tasted before. It must be a daycare thing.

"Those are my favorite ones," is another variation on the theme above. "Favorite" usually being an item or a food that he has definitely never seen, encountered, tried, etc. before.

"Are you my friend, mama?" is a question that gets posed a lot. Ivan's increasingly getting concerned with who is or isn't his friend. I can't tell whether it's a three year-old thing, a daycare thing, or "mama's spending all her time with the baby" thing.

"Dadda be mad. Dadda be happy," he likes to affirm to himself when he completes something, such as eating his dinner, that he knows will please us.
