More conversations with my son (part ?)
My son, who was fairly non-verbal when he was younger, continues to talk more and more. And more. (He's still not as talkative as his sister, who could talk the ears off a fence post, but that's okay).
It doesn't seem to bother him that people can't always understand him, and sometimes it seems that he doesn't even need others to respond, he just likes talking and telling stories.
One night at dinner recently he was talking and telling a story about some crazy thing (elephants, cannons, you name it) as if it was something that had happened to him that day. I watched, listened, nodded, and when he stopped I looked around the table at the Italian and Punkin and said "does anybody have any idea what he's talking about?"
Without missing a beat Buddy looked right back at me and said "my do!"
And, in the end, I suppose that's what really counts.
