Agua

"Agua" is one of Ryker's favorite words and he really does understand his meaning. If I say "water" (which he can't pronounce), he says "agua." He will point at all sorts of things, including ocean, lakes, rivers, pictures of these (both photographs and paintings), water in a bottle or a cup, the bath, a puddle, from a firehose, on a screensaver, in a cartoon.

He also just likes to say "agua." We were driving in the car and he was pointing at the lake saying "agua, agua, agua" until long after we passed it. I turned and asked him "donde?/where?" and he pointed back over his shoulder as it was now behind us.

It really is fascinating to see how his mind connects and understands the world around him. Now if I could just figure out how to stop the temper tantrums...
