conversations with you

Charlie

Since starting ECE you have talked almost nonstop. What is great is how you will actually engage in conversations, not just phrases. I love it.

Here is my favorite, to date. . .

scene: You and Dada are sitting at the table, looking at the gingerbread house.

C: Eat it! Dada eat it!
D: Charlie, we can't eat it. Mama will get mad.
C: Do it! (putting hands on table) I want that one! (pointing to candy cane tree)
D: No. You can't eat it.
C: Candy? I want candy.

Yep. You got candy. Hershey Kisses. You were happy.

This Tuesday was school picture day. When we were at school for your evaluation and IEP meeting we checked out the composite school picture from last year. We noticed a lot of little boys in collared shirts and ties. Yep, we made you wear one. So as Dada got you dressed. . .

C: No. No. I stuck. Dada I stuck. Get me out. Stuck.
D: You are not stuck, you are wearing your shirt. (He didn't get the tie on.)
C: No. Stuck. I stuck.

So you went to J's house in your shirt and Dada gave her your tie, in the event she was able to get you to wear it. She was able to get you to wear it. We are told you said:

I am handsome!

once J got it on you. You said this super clear and had everyone laughing. I can't wait to see the school picture.
