Pronouns are lost on 3 year olds

Over the weekend (before Anden's big break), she was so patiently and quietly sitting in a chair on the patio, watching a barn swallow working on her nest.

As is typical with a kid this age, when talking about the bird, it was "Her flew away" "her is feeding her babies" "her came back".

Thinking I was doing it right, I explained that "She flew away" "She came back".

Monday night I told DeAnn about the bird watching, and DeAnn asked Anden what the bird's name is.....

Without missing a beat, Anden replied, "She".
