Oliver's language is exploding. I feel like my little boy is making sense. He has opinions that I now have to pay attention to. Here is our normal breakfast conversation:me: What do you want to do today Oliver?
O: bap, ca, tids?
me: you want to take the car to the park and play with kids?
O: Adie?
me: yes, Aiden should be there.
Every morning. No wonder we go to every play date. It's hard to say no to that. So today we did take the car to the park to play with Aiden (and others). He fell asleep on the way home and after his nap he was a really sweet compliant kid. I think I have been so busy that I haven't really noticed how well he is communicating. For some reason, this afternoon he said something that really struck me. I handed him a clementine for snack and then he looked at me and said "taint tou mommy". Totally appropriate and unprompted. It was that moment that I realized baby is gone and I like the little man he is turning into. I just stood back and watched him eat his orange with a proud mom smile on my face. I look forward to see what else he is quietly learning while I am not paying attention.
