Isaac pushed his toy pram down the skate ramp in the park.

Isaac collects rocks.  He especially likes pretty round ones, sometimes broken open to reveal different colours inside.  Rocks have replaced socks, in his collecting.  We find them everywhere, in all rooms, inside toys, etc.  He is learning to put them inside his pockets.

DYLAN:  Call me Jingle Dylan.

DADDY:  Hello Jingle Dylan.

DYLAN:  Hello Tiger Turtle.

Isaac is concerned to establish that objects in books exist in the real world.  For example, he points to a picture of a clock in one of his books, says 'clock', then points to the clock on his wall, and says 'clock' again.  He does the same at Dylan's nursery, where there is both a clock and a book depicting a clock.  He also points to a door in a book and the door in his room, saying 'door' each time.

Isaac says, with some difficulty, 'star' (har), 'apple' (ah-uh), 'banana' (nana), 'orange' (oh-ah), and 'flower' (fla).  He also says bubble, hair, hat, spoon, fork, chair, keys, teddy, ball, boat, pear, carrot, baby, cake, milk, tree, sheep, top, balloon, and man.

Isaac has divided animals into four groups.  1.  He calls all birds 'ducks' (or 'gucks').  For example, a raven is a 'guck'.  2.  He calls all insects 'bees'.  For example, a lady bird is a 'bee'.  3.  He calls dogs 'dogs' (or 'gaaaaa') - describing the same group in the same way that most people use.  4.  Finally, he calls all non-dog mammals 'cat'.  For example, horses and sheep are 'cats'.  He is quite consistent.
