Words

Today I had two visits with the little man.  He was happy to see me each time, the first time he ran across the playroom to me and the second time he gave up his snack.  I must be doing something right if he's willing to give up his afternoon cookie.... 

With each visit it seems that more of his personality is showing.  He's laughing and smiling a lot.  I have a little toy that plays nursery rhymes; he sang his version of Ring Around the Rosie every time it played accompanied by his own unique dance moves.

Today the little man said two words in English that I could clearly understand.  I bring him a treat each visit; it's some Cheerios in a small glad container.  It looks like a small cup and I guess I called it a cup because he said 'cup' about fifty times today while playing with it.  I also told him the stacking cups were cups so he had lots of cups to talk about.  But alas that was not his first word, his first word was the 'N' word, that's right he said NO!  He said it at the appropriate time, he used it the right way and he used it a few times.  As I said, more of his personality is coming out along with his independence, just ask him about it and I'm sure he'll say no!

I tried taking a walk today in-between visits.  There was a cold ice/rain falling, not good weather for walking or taking pictures, hopefully tomorrow will be better.
