Lazy Days of Summer

I love summer.  I love the lazy days of just playing and having no real pressing issues.  I thought about how easy it is to introduce language to our children on these lazy days.  
It's the second day in a row of rain and my 18 month old nugget, Lola, wanted to go outside.  As we sat together on the couch, looking outside, she was intrigued by the rain.   We stepped out onto the back patio and put our hands in the rain.  Lola thought it was hilarious.   We went back in and sat looking out again.   We had a grand conversation about the rain drops and how the drops were hitting the flowers and making them bend over.  We talked about how the drops splashed and bounced up on the table.   She pointed to the puddles that were forming on the patio so it was easy to 'name' them.
Will she repeat these words tomorrow?  Probably not, however they have been 'placed' in her brain.  The more she hears language, the more words will be engraved upon her brain, and the likelier it will be that she uses them.
Try it, it's easy.
