Read Dr. Seuss to Your Baby

When my son was around 20 months old, we spent some time reading Dr. Seuss books.  We had a lot of fun with these.  Who wouldn't?  They are so silly.  When we would finish the books, we would continue on rhyming in the spirit of the books we had just read.  This was a lot of fun.  I began to notice that it was carrying over into my son's vocabulary at other times of the day as well.  When I would ask him a question that warranted a yes answer, instead of saying yes, he would say, "Yes, pess is a bess."  If I asked him a question that warranted a no answer, I got something like this, "No, poe is a foe."  I would just quickly explain to those who would hear his answer that we had been enjoying some Dr. Seuss books lately.  It was really quite funny and he certainly learned to rhyme.  Kids are never too young to have fun playing rhyming games.  Why not read some Dr. Seuss to your child and make up your own language?  It is quite fun.
