    Yup. My DD does this a lot less at 3.5 than she used to but i can think of examples from this week were she's repeated near verbatim something I've said in later conversation, used correctly and the. Modified / reprocessed for an additional related thought.

    Yes, EXACTLY this. It was not noticeable to others, except in the sense that she was very precocious verbally.

    DS did not do this and was not as verbally advanced as a toddler. However, they both memorized very long books very young. He turned out to be the earlier reader, by almost a year, for whatever reason.

    When I read about this long ago, I found some info about "gestalt" language acquisition.
