While I was singing "Old MacDonald had a farm" using the glove toy that my aunt Laurie gave us, Kenny picked up on one of the words. It was 'cat'. I was pronouncing the names for each type of animal, and every time I said 'cat' he'd chime in with 'ka'.
Smart kid. I'm not expecting any miracles with a trailing hard 't' sound, especially from a kid growing up in Japan. But he's doing all right.
