That’s my name

L3 has grown his vocabulary by leaps and bounds recently – adding pronouns and expressing definite opinions. Recently he’s been adamant about his name. Example conversation…

Me: Come here, silly boy! *picks up boy with love* Are you my big boy?

L3: NO! ‘tha-nul! *pointing at himself emphatically*

Me: You’re not my big boy?

L3: NO! ‘tha-nul! E says eh in ‘tha-nul!

Another time, he added in: I call you: Mom. Call me: tha-nul!
