My son confused with ‘me’ and ‘you’ last time also… and I blogged about it…
http://cre8tonebabe.blogspot.com/2009/09/me-and-you.html

I tried the suggestion Angeline gave and it works… Maybe you want to try, too:
Angeline said…

Sit him on your lap.
Hold his right hand in yours with the index finger pointing out.
Point to himself and say “Me”.
Point to another person or teddy bear and say “you”….
do it as and when you can, over and over again every day, till he gets it right.

the keypoint here is not for “you”, its rather for “me”. So that whenever he needs something for himself, he will say “me” and then when to say “you” becomes natural.
*wink*

My daughter same too! I think…all children alike ya, and it’s the parents or guardian to guide them correctly in term of language, attitude and all!

Manfred always say:”you wan watch barney” when he wan to watch barney.
I think cause I always ask him, “do you want to XXX” so he also answer back using “you”.. does sound confusing, but after I correct him, now he gets it right sometimes…

I agree. Sometimes I lov their mix ups.

And then one day when they all of a sudden get it. I love those too. When you realise, they are such a big boy already!

yes, keira sometimes says you instead of me too. Usually “Keira feed you” when she means she wants to feed herself.

Jonathan is in the midst of learning to speak in sentences, I think it will take time to learn, but anyway these kids are fast learners! They copy exactly what we say
