Verbal Update

Tooter is coming along with his speech.  He's still quite behind the average for children his age, but he is progressing slowly.  i.e. He may not be talking up to level, but he's moving in the right direction!

A couple of days ago, I was going from the kitchen towards the pantry and ran into a stool or a cabinet or something.  (I'm always doing that).  And then I let out a barrage of "ow ow ow ow's", which of course is necessary when one bangs one's toe.  Or shin.  I don't remember exactly what I did.  Tooter then came running out of the office room and said:
"Mommy, I sahee.  Ah ooo okay?"

No lie.  He said all of it at one time!!!  Jmk was there - he can attest to it.  Granted, I doubt anyone else would have been able to understand him.  But he said it!  And he had the most concerned look on his precious little face that made my owie disappear like magic.  It was a nice moment.

I guess he really will be talking before he goes to college.  ;-)
