Baby twin talking

Mommy facebook pages are furiously linking to this viral video of twin boys talking to each other. Ok, so they aren't really talking. They are cracking themselves up by mimicking their parents and each other. One of my nephews has language delays, so I find this video fascinating. It shows the basic pre-language stage of joint attention and mimicry. In order to talk, we have to have the ability to copy and the interest in caring what others think. Once again, kids say the darnest thing, right?
