It's A Great Day!

Beginning on Sunday and continuing on... for no apparent reason Benjamin has been chatting up a storm! For example, I told him to pick a book out, so he went over to his basket full of books and said "this or this?" This is terrific conversational talking- not labeling! Also, in the car, he points things out along the side of the road, like "pretty flowers", and he also tells me to "go Mommy go". Also while in time out he tells me "I get up now Mommy" (trying everything desperately to get out of time out of course!). Yesterday he watched Barney and on the starting page said, "WHOAAAAA" and then "Oh My!"- so appropriate. Now the things we need to work on is answering questions. For example, the answer to the question, "What do you want to eat" is "hotdog". Also, he bumped his head and said "knee hurts", because that's the answer he learned when he skinned his knees. We're trying to expand those!! Our latest adventure- Ben has been taking off his diaper at every nap and every morning when he gets up, then pee-peeing all over his bed! The OT's solution, putting him in his zip-up pj's turning them backwards! We're trying that as we speak- we'll see!!
