Having a growing boy is so fun! Patrick is trying to talk more, and we are so proud of him! We love hearing him say things.
Some of our neighbors made those lollipops out of saran wrap and sticks. Patrick really likes them - and calls them "Pop" - he even makes the "P" sound at the end of it, not just the beginning! (at least some of the time ;) )
Well, for Christmas one of the things Patrick got was a kitchen set, and some food. Amidst the food, of course, are some hot dogs. Yesterday I was thinking what he must think about that - it's two words he knows and can say (his own version of, that is) yet putting them together about a piece of food is pretty strange! Well, today he pointed at a hot dog, and said the word he uses for dog!
Poor child. Sometimes things just don't make sense in this strange world! :)
He is better at making sounds sometimes, instead of words. For Sprite he used to say "Sssssss" now he says something else, which I have a hard time remembering. For milk he says "Mmmmmm" (and sign language sometimes, too.) My mom got him a Fridge Phonics set for Christmas, and the other day he said his sprite word and got the "S" off the fridge! I was excited about that!
He is trying to say hamburger, too. And he tried to say one of Kathryn's nick names on New Years eve!
He is so expressive. He makes the funniest faces. The other day he had a little car from his Lego's. He drove it gently over my face, then acted so sad and hugged me. He also did it to his face-and of course I hugged him! It turned into (or maybe it was from the beginning!) a game.
Oh yes, something else he does that is pretty funny, but not always so great...When he gets in trouble and is sad, amidst the tears and wails he cries out "Bee-bee" (sometimes the last bee is higher pitched, so it sounds SO dramatic and miserable!) even adding sign language at times!
He jabbers away in his own language - I can't wait until he can talk even more!
