First Angry Sentences
This is the kind of thing that they don’t include in most baby books, but I remember clearly with both boys. Drake had been talking, with words and short sentences for a while. A friend of his grabbed the toy he was playing with and ran off. He turned after her and shouted, “M! I was HAVING that car!”
I was reminded of this recently as my husband, G. Grod, urged 22 mo Guppy to eat more of his apples (and cabbage). Guppy wasn’t fooled. “I don’t WANT apple, Daddy!”
Both boys’ responses were loud, clear, and full of passion. I can’t be sure what their “real” first sentences were, but the first angry ones were quite something to witness.
