Not only can your toddler walk, he can talk, too! How quickly those first words that once only you recognized become clear enough to be understood by complete strangers. Soon one-word utterances become two-word sentences, and then one day you wake up to a vocabulary explosion! At this point your toddler may not be able to carry a tune, but he'll be gaining the kind of control over his vocal chords that will allow him to switch from a loud voice to a quiet one. And if you sing a familiar song like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and leave off the last word, he'll gladly fill in the blank. Soon he'll be singing his own version of the song probably something like "Twinkle, Twinkle, star" repeated over and over. Rhythm and lyrics (or at least some of the lyrics) come first. Pitch will have to wait.
