I'm mostly amused, I guess, although it can be frustrating when he occasionally lapses into gibberish in front of kids or adults who don't know him well. They could easily mistake him for being slow rather than advanced, and I do see this as an extension of his advanced language skills. He's a sponge for language and has loved word play since he was 2. The other night, we read a chapter in Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator where Willie Wonka talks in a nonsense alien language, and I swear I saw my son swoon. This was weeks after my son started his own language, and he thought it was the greatest thing ever. It gave me a new appreciation for Roald Dahl.
