One More Month
A month from now, Liam will be two. When he was born, I remember thinking it felt like eons would pass before he was old enough to talk, feed and play by himself. Yet now we're here. Words germinate daily. I suppose some kids learn a new word and add it a little at a time. Liam responds to new words like a scientist responds to a new discovery. He uses it right away, tells everyone about it, as if to make sure it's real.
This morning, I asked about the cows, as usual. Today the cows are on a choo-choo, going to Nana's house. So tonight, if he remembers, we might have to call the cows on the phone.
He also told me that the cows like to golf. "Liam golf."
"With the cows?" I asked.
"Nooooo. No. Nooooo. Liam golf D. School."
He also tells us what he wants to eat (usually toast with jam, fruit or yogurt and milk). Meals are pretty easy, but it's a combination of us learning what tricks work, and him learning to be independent. Yesterday Liam saw a sample of sausage at the grocery store. He asked with please, so the lady gave him a chicken and apple sausage, which he devoured. Then he asked 'more please' with his adorable smile. She gave him another, to which he responded, "thank you". She thought he was so polite that she gave Liam a third piece of sausage. At that point, I HAD to buy some. As a result, Liam has a new favorite food.
Liam will be a tried-and-true toddler in a little less than a month. I would argue that he's already there.
