Words

At the pool during adult swim: 
I want to go swim big pool with Mommy Daddy Sam John?
Holy macaroni, a 12-word sentence uttered by a most quiet boy.

Time to eat scrambled eggs s'ghetti meatballs dinner time?
A most quiet boy who this summer is something else: a boy who wields his words instead of pulling me places. Not all the time, of course, but people!

Tubby custard, I want go airport library grocery store?
Most of the time I get the gist but sometimes...? He stomps and yells if I don't understand. I so want to understand! As his language has multiplied, his temper tantrums have intensified.

It's a beautiful puzzle.

This is all kinds of awesome! We've been seeing an increase in Nik's use of language, too, this summer. :-)
