Yesterday I had my first ever TWO-sided conversation with Easton, who turned 3 years old 4 days ago.
Here’s how it went:
Easton: (handing me the remote control) You want George? (meaning –I want to watch Curious George)
Me: No, we are not going to watch George this morning.
Easton: Why not? (in his cute, yet whiney voice)
Me: Because you don’t learn anything from George.
Easton: Awwww! (and he walks off)
It’s progress! We are working really hard to limit Easton’s television watching because of his language development delay. We have seen a lot of changes in him these last couple of weeks with less tv watching, and I know it’s not us imagining it. He really is talking more…we may not always understand what he’s talking about, but the key is that he is developing those language skills!
That's wonderful, and exciting! When they can talk to you, it's like a whole new world has opened up!
