Nana and TwoRyan

The D Space
Rohan and Ryan can both say Rhea. They call her eeya or eeyo (we sometimes call her Rio so that's probably where they got the Eeyo from) .At lunch whenever fiona calls out to Rhea, both Rohan and Ryan will start their "EEyA" "EEya" from their high chairs as loudly as they can, until she shows up.

Now at long last Ryan has learnt to say "Ryan" So when you ask him to say Ryan he'll sat "Aaahhyennn". Rohan is a lot harder to say, neither of them can say it, but if you ask Rohan to say "Rohan" he'll say "Nana" and you can tell he thinks he's pretty darned close :)

Fiona tries hard to get Rohan to say his name.
Rohan say "Row hun"
Rohan "Na Na"
Say O Hun
Rohan looks confused.
Say O
"O"
Now say "Hun"
"Hun"
Now say "Row hun"
"Na Na" :-)

Cousin Allison has a better system going. She doesn't really like the name Rohan. She's always Aayan this and Aayan that....She'll never say Rohan. But this Thanksgiving she took it up another notch.. For the first time i heard her call them "Ryan" and "TwoRyan".
