Joseph's communication is really taking off this month and we are loving it. This month has seen the arrival of a lot of two-word phrases and one sort-of four-word one: "All done appa joo!") Some of them include, "Bye-bye playground" (comes out like puh-goun), "Mama up," "Dada car," "Pooh stuck" (looking at the picture in his room of Pooh stuck in Rabbit's front door). But by far the most common combination of words is anything involving the word MY, which is now crystal clear. My agua, my appa joo, my appa, my nana, my car, my cup, my shoe, my Elmo, my playground, my cracker. MINE!!! Hahah. This child must be a third child or something. It's hilarious. He is actively defending his turf.
Joseph also says "truck" whenever he hears a fire engine, "buh" when he sees the school buses go by, "spoon" and "plate" when he helps unload the dishwasher, and "duck" and "quack quack" when we walk by the creek. He vigorously signs and says baby, girl, boy, rain, wind, cracker, plane, help, and go. I have so much delight in this age as he learns to communicate something new almost every day.
