For that, that should have been a link to Zombo.
You should have asked your son about Pluto.

I usually just set all my videos so they aren't searchable. You have to have the direct link to them. (This is an option when uploading) No troll problems in nearly 2 years!

I love when monster says thank you! its so cute..now she's learned that I like manners so she says "pweaseeee" for everything and I got tired of her caveman grunting so I taught her "help" for when she needs me to help with something..so now she says "help, pweaseee" when shes trying to get things I clearly told her not to touch 
she's so bad. Also lately shes already started saying "what's that?" so I will tell her the word for something..she can do it for hours

Yeah, we are having a little trouble with "please" because the daycare has taught him a bunch of sign launguage, "please" being on of them. He swipes his hand from left to right across his belly for please. It's kind of funny when he REALLY REALLY wants something because he's in a frenzy rubbing his belly so hard and fast like...NOW NOW NOW I WANT, I WANT. But some words he's not saying he's just signing. The word "more" is another one he uses a lot and won't actually try to say.

our daycare does sign language too, it is cute, but annoys me. She has the ability to say words , so I make her. we had one knock down drag out battle over a sippy of milk, and she uses the word now
I just held it and she kept making the sign for eat , but I wouldn't let her have it until she said a word. could have been more, please, or eat just as long as it was a word. she finally said more after throwing a fit. Now, she usually just uses words, or somtimes signs and uses the word, the please is cute, because its usually food she wants and it looks like shes rubbing her belly She also sometimes combines words and signs..making the sign for eat while saying more..I just don't know how I feel about the sign language. I guess its useful for some kids but im not a huge fan. One week though her vocab just quadrupuled and shes talking up a storm now, like something just clicked.

Yeah, I thought the signing was a bright idea at first but now I've actually asked his teacher, how she expects him to actually use his vocabulary vs. these signs they've taught him. She said they do tell him to "use his words" but some children just take longer. Chase is learning words and picking them up quicker like you mentioned. He still won't say mom or mommy, and I think he thinks it's funny now. I'll tell him to "say mommy" and he says "daddy" and laughs.

I had my boys in a home day-care and the lady seemed offended that I put my oldest son in preschool. She thought she was teaching him enough. In reality, she was doing a great job but we wanted to get him into a school setting so that Kindergarten wasn't a shock to him. By the time our second was ready for Preschool, she didn't say anything about it.

Having worked as a nanny with toddlers (11-23 months) for two families, convincing toddlers to use the words that they are capable of using can be a battle. You have to stand strong and keep encouraging them to use their words, for instance, there was the one family that I was with and they had toddler twin boys and they didn't communicate when they were hungry. I got to the point that I had a pretty good eatting schedule, but then I added words to it and the word that the boys picked up on was "snack" and when they wanted to eat they would come to me and say "nack, nack, wease," which translated to "snack, snack, please." The boys then picked up on "no nap" at naptime and "nigh, nigh" when they were tired. I encouraged every word, including "all done" and they learned with me that "all done" meant all done. Their sisters where "issie" short for "sissie". The last little girl I was with learned a lot of words...from tv (which her family wanted on 24/7 on nick jr, scary that I can still sing the songs a year later), from her grandparents, her mom, and I. We all repeated words (often without realizing that we were repeating the same thing until we talked about her new behaviors) and the more words that we repeated, the more that she picked up on and repeated back to us. She had an amazing vocabulary for just barely two when I left her and her family, well over a thousand words. My best advice to help babies learn words is just keep talking to them, reading, singing, playing with them and encouraging speech (the words don't have to be perfect, they'll get clearer as they learn more words).
