Haha. I think its adorable, but my boyfriend is anoyed by it. Mum said to teach him next week is 'Tim is crap' haha.

Mimi, my Amazon, loves peek- a- boo , but instead of saying I see you she often substitutes I love you in its place. She also sometimes starts it off wit I love you.

It is because of the way that we initially started out with the peek-a-boo thing that resulted in here saying I love you so much instead of I see you. We would say Peek-a-boo pause and then say I see you and shortly afterwards would say I love you, but we were saying it in the same sing-song manner that we were saying the I see you portion of peek-a-boo. So you could try using a sin-song type of speech when trying to teach them a new phrase, it just might work.

Peekaboo seems to be an easy sound for all of them because they all love it. I admit I don't actually play peekaboo with mine but I do use it when one of them is behind something and peeps out (I also use the "I see you!" afterward). Sweetpea calls himself Peekabird, sometimes. As to "I love you", some of them learn it and some don't although they learn other stuff - I don't know why. Mami (YCA female estimated to be around 50 years old) is now beginning to say "I love you" but she says "I love... I love... I love....... you" but the 'you' comes out much lower both in tone and in volume so maybe that is the way I say it to her.

Perhaps it is they way that you say it to her, but I am not sure that I would count on that. Mimi(YNA) says I love you in several different ways and only two of them are close to the way that My Lady or Myself say this to her. She is very adept at playing with the pitch, volume, speed, tone and other inflections of things that she learns to say. Most things she says in three or four different ways, sometimes complete and sometimes partially. Really very interesting to watch he do this with words and phrases.

Yes, since the realization that he loves the sing song so much, I'll be making up the words i want him to say "I love you" "Thank you" in a sing song manor :) they make us giggle so much, don't they? little lovlies

I drove 4 hours down and 4 back when getting Myrtle. I was afraid to take such a scared bird straight home to my kaos so I stayed at a motel in my town for her first night so she could see that I was her new human and things are going to change. I played peek a boo with her at the motel. It was a way of bringing her out to interact with me from across a room.
