Another talker in the house
Posted on September 6, 2011 - Filed Under Uncategorized
So, there we were: Wyatt and I laying in bed reading a Winnie the Pooh story. He usually finds these quite boring as they are written for older kids, but he picked it out so it’s on him :) Anyway, after a few minutes, he pops up and says, “Wait, have an idea!” I said, “What’s your idea, Wyatt?” He hesitated for a second, but replied with, “Gatorade!” I said, “Oh, okay” and started to get up. As he was also getting up, he said, “Hurry! Let’s go!”
I tell this story because it is obviously cute. But I also wanted to make the point that Wyatt has come a very long way in the last 2-4 months regarding his ability to communicate. There was a brief time earlier this year when Erin and I were beginning to get a little concerned because he just wasn’t talking in a way we thought was typical for a two year old. Now, though, I don’t think we have much to worry about. (By the way, I know some of you are thinking that boys typically development later than girls. I accept that for physical development at certain ages, but despite Erin and her mother’s best efforts, I remain unconvinced. I think some of it is people making excuses.)
