I'm pretty sure he has A LOT to say and is frustrated at his inability to express all his thoughts and needs. At our IEP in July he had 30 words and that has tripled at least in the last few months. He is in the midst of a language explosion:new words, copying us, saying words he hears in songs (he first did this with Frozens Let it Go, saying "go", and now he asks for the song "letitgo" or gaga when he wants dance music).
He is amazing. I can't wait to have back and forth conversations with him. He is starting to put words together. Here are some examples:
"Mama, letitgo"
"Mama, ball. Blue ball"
"More please mama, oatmeal, Liam".
"Hot queque (pancake)"
The other day while I was making dinner he grabbed a bag off the counter and grabbed a carrot the size of an ear of corn and starts knawing on it, "mmmmm" he says. Then he grabs the cup Lupe was using to drink a smoothie. It's empty. "Oh no" he says.
He also unrolls all the tp from the roll and puts some in the toilet.
He also finishes dinner and asks for GAga. We oblige and put on our pandora dance station. And he has a twenty minute dance party. He is BUSTING out the moves. Spinning. His first jump, we think, with two feet off the ground. If we look away or try to talk he comes and touches our knees almost shouting "mama! Papa!" so that we keep watching his dance party. He is pouring sweat by the end of it. It's pretty great.
Crazy hair day at school. Lacking some Aquanet so it didn't stay up.
Elsa, and Olaf of course.
Mamados!
