I am witnessing another burst of language from P and it’s awesome. P likes to answer any question we ask him with “no”. I am unable to restrain myself from laughing. I know I shouldn’t laugh but I can’t get enough of the no’s. While some parents would be infuriated with the constant no’s, I just can’t make myself be. I always say back to him with a smile on my face “don’t you say no to your mama”. And his personality is really showing itself now more than ever. He has a sense of humor. He knows what he can get away with and with who. He is stubborn, stubborn, stubborn and gets this from his dada. A little bit of a drama King saying “ouch” or “ow” to any bump. He wants mom and dad to baby him while he is very independent with his gran, auntie, uncle and at school.
I have tried several times to get some of the progress on tape but that boy knows when I turn the camera on and is quickly quiet. He will talk and talk away when the camera’s aren’t around or we aren’t asking him to talk for someone. He is showing us that although he couldn’t talk before that he is remembering everything we have shown him and told him. It is a miracle how far he has come. He was repeating sporadically before what we were saying but now he is repeating absolutely everything we are saying. For all of his life I have constantly been talking to him. It’s so nice to finally hear him talking back to me.
Gran use to ask me what do you think his voice will sound like. It so cute, a little soft and he has a little bit of a lisp and some problems with f’s. He is becoming more spontaneous with his talking and has even started to show more strangers that he can talk. He tried to get the oil delivery man to come in the house the other day saying “come on, come on” and then said “bye,bye” to him a thousand times. He can count to 20 now and seems to have learned this in one day. He still has no conversational speech but I am sure this will come. We have had some setbacks. For instance when I went downstairs to pop his dinner in the oven and left him for 2 minutes to watch his favorite show. I came back up and he was completely undressed. I had forgotten to get him a drink and he had tried to drink out of the toilet. Got soaking wet and took off his clothes to get dry. I felt awful and I hate to admit it. But want people to know what it is like for him to not be able to ask for a simple drink. We are getting there, slowly, with him now spontaneously asking for three food items (chips, pistachios & cookies). And just the other day asked for soda and ice together. So hopefully I won’t have to worry about him being thirsty of hungry without being able to tell me anymore.
And 3 days ago I got him a new movie Aristocats. He saw it twice and since then has been singing “Everbodyyyy wants to be a cat” as loud as he possibly can and very clearly. I can’t get the song out of my head and have been singing along with him for three days. I am having a blast.
*just 2 seconds ago said “more, more” which he says when he is hungry
