I've never had so much fun as spending time with my kids when they were learning to speak. It starts with imitation, so that for example all machines were "googooglydah"s to begin with, which is a very young child's attempt to copy the sound of a starting machine, and then they became "goodah"s and then the lawnmower graduated to being an "awnmoaner", and so on. All things with screens became "plutas" and so arcade games thingos became "stand up plutas".
It's a very interesting process and much the most fun for me in parenting. I just wanted to get the kids saying anything so I could listen. I really enjoyed my kids around age 2; no terrible twos.
