As cute as my young son is, he's always been a bit stubborn. From his labor and birth, to where, when, and what he wants to eat, to a whole host of other things. I don't know where he got it from (feigned confused face).
So it was with the words he would speak. We would get on occasional "da-da", an even less-occasional "ma-ma", "de-de" (thank you), and a few others. However, he was never lacking with his "NO, Ma-Ma!", "uh-oh" or "car". So though we knew he had a whole host of other words in his vocabulary, he would communicate only with grunts and throwing things.
Not my favorite plan.
Well, two days ago, he suddenly began to speak! Not yet in complete sentences, but he has added a whole bunch of words he has rarely or never said before. Hallelujah!
We now commonly hear: "Car-ee" (Carly--Thanks Daddy!), "eat", "drink", "bye", "please", "more", "down", "why", "belly", "baby", "tee-s" (teeth), "'sye!" (outside) and a few others. He will now actually repeat words when we say them instead of staring at us like we were comic relief and laughing hysterically.
With a boy who will only do things on his own time....I fear the future could be a bit scary for us. But maybe by then, he'll be able to speak....even if we don't want to hear what he has to say.
