Me

ME do this!

ME want this.

ME, ME, MEeeeee

My daughter refers to herself as ME. Pretty normal, I guess, EXCEPT that Steve and I have never taught her the word ME. We always call her Finley or some variation of Finley. So where does the ME come from? How does she even have this sense of self? Do I consult Freud? Is this a healthy ego in a 16 month old? Whaaaaaaa???

Seriously people it's cute, but, dumbfounding ... did your kids do this?

My 18 month old does the same. He must have heard me used when referring to ourselves.

Maybe from Cookie Monster? "Me want cookie!"

Really, it's crazy how they absorb and pick up everything, even things you know you didn't consciously teach them.
