Micah has learned a lot from his buddies this year. And we are just now seeing the fullness of it this week. Hugo and Luca have been rambling in English and French for at least a month now and Micah has self-assuredly kept to the vocabulary he established back in November. ("green, uh oh, up, down, and in" being most frequently heard). All of the sudden, Sunday morning, he decided he was going to start saying all the words he had been storing in his head. Sunday and Monday he repeated back whatever word we would ask (within his pronunciation zone) and by Thursday he has been making up phrases of his own and asserting more and more of his desires. Wow! It seems like he has aged a year! His favorite phrase the past two days had been "Come Mom (sometimes with Please)". "Spin Please" also ranks pretty high after diaper changes. (referring to being swung round and round til we both fall down dizzy). Very cool. A whole new phase of parenting...as it becomes harder to "not understand" what he clearly tells us he wants. :)
