Teaching Francis new words

[trail_rider]

I would like to teach Francis some new words and I need some ideas. What are some things that your greys say??

I use every day words. Apple, What you doing? Words that relate to our every day living. So use words that you want your grey to learn and use.

It is hard for me to teach Tobie anything new. He copies my husband and even talks in his voice. My favorite things that Tobie sais are "I love you". And he sais my name like he is calling me. "Jan, Hey Jan!" and when I say "what do you want, Tobie" he sais "I love you" or "Hello" or "you alright?" or "Good morning" etc. I never know how he might respond. We have games with words we play and that is one of them. Another game we play is "what time is it?" Either Tobie or I will say that, and He or I will answer "Super time", "Bed time", "Dog food time"(time to feed the dogs), "Morning time", but he doesn't necessarily answer appropriately. Then I'll correct him with the right phrase and he might repeat after me or not. We are still adding different "times" to his vocabulary.
