anyone else have a 3yo that talks like this?

Maybe he likes how his name sounds? My son and daughter never talked like that so I am not a lot of help!
My daughter is two, and while she normally will use "I" or "me" in her sentences, sometimes she will speak in the third person. She seems to be growing out it slowly.
Do you ever ask him things like "Would Jack like some juice?' or "Does Jack want to go outside?" If he hears you using his name that way, he might just be copying you.
He's just trying things out. I'd be happy he's talking, lol. Just correct him without being brash. when he says "The Jack wants juice" just respond with "I think you meant to say 'I want juice'"
If the problem persists once he goes onto preschool then I would be concerned.
My three year old will say I and me but sometimes refers to himself as "Oliber" lol. His name is Oliver. He starts off asking me a question like "How are you mommy?" and then follows up with "Oliber is sleepy" or whatever.
So he is talking in 3rd person...
I have not encountered this. I would assume it is a phase. My oldest was a delayed talker, and my other two talked well before they were supposed to. I do remember when each one would do little odd things. I tried to ignore it, or I would repeat the correct thing back to them. I wouldnt worry!
my dd doesn't talk like that but maybe it's just a phase. i wouldn't worry about it.
Mine says "me" instead of "I" most of the time.
Me: are you sleepy?
Brent: Me not!
Lol
That's the ugliest name everrrr!!!
