yesss i hate baby talk 😭 it just limits them. my two year old niece can speak multiple full sentences at once and can communicate her feelings bc no one talks to her like a baby, just like she’s a person

I just always speak like that. A child once heard me say, “proceed,” and then accused me of making up words. 😂
