Sam,
You are learning new words everyday. You surprise us with saying something new everyday and you have a really good memory! This morning before breakfast you brought me a box of Jello Pudding Singles and said, “nack.” I told you that we could have them later for our snack after Bible Study. On the way home from Bible Study (a full 6 hours later), you asked for a snack in the car. I asked you what you wanted for your snack and you said “ping.” It was a word I hadn’t heard you say before, but when I asked if you were saying “pudding” you replied “uh-huh.” 🙂 Too cute! So, of course, we had “ping” for a snack today!

You are making associations with things you remember about our regular activities. If I tell you we’re going to church, you say “My,” for your buddy Miles at church. If I tell you we’re going to storytime, you say “tain” for the train set at B&N. It’s so much fun to watch your little brain develop and learn new things every day.

We have a door bell on our back porch and we’ve let you ring it when we’re playing outside. When you hear it, you always run inside and point to the front door like we need to let someone in. I don’t quite know how to explain that one to you. You know that you are making the bell ring, but also you knew that someone should be at the front door when you hear that sound.

You go to sleep each night with one or two teddy bears and a kitty cat (plus 2 pacis).
