We've had to resort to pig latin on a regular basis. Devin was spelling at 2½, JP around 5 (so, basically the same time). Devin's figured out the pig latin to some extent, but JP's still clueless. For Devin we throw out other words that mean the same as what we want to say. McDonald's is "the old farmer's place," spielplätz for playground (German word for it), library is bibliothèque. There are a bunch more that we'll use. It's quite comical to see us trying to come up with ways to talk about things in front of them. It's just easier to send them out of the room, lol!
