God is Good

Owen: Mommy, watch this!

Ivan: Maey, waa di!

Owen: Mommy, can I watch cars today?

Ivan: Maey, waa car day?

Ivan has been repeating things, trying to tell me things and becoming more and more articulate. As you can see by my attempt to spell his utterances, he is still difficult to understand, and I don't always know what he wants or needs, but he's definitely improving and becoming more brave with his communication. Yesterday, he came running to me, grabbed my hand and tried to pull me away from the sink as he was yelling..."baey cry! baey cry!" He was trying to get me to pick up Aron who was crying in the other room.

What tickles me is his attempts to repeat what Owen says. Like a little echo after Owen speaks his words bounce right back and insist that we listen.
