Subtle differences
Just putting this here so I won't forget:
The oldest (3.5) has always repeated what his mommy or daddy says to the other, if we are both in the room.
Example: He asks Mommy something, she answers, "Yes, after lunch."
He says to daddy (sitting three feet away): "Daddy, Mommy says 'yes, after lunch.'"
He still does this, but about two months ago, he added "MY" to the sentence.
"Daddy, my mommy says 'yes, after lunch.'"
It's a small but noticeable distinction, most likely from hearing his classmates in preschool all day tell stories that begin "My mommy..." and "My daddy..."
Ownership.
