Sawyer woke up from his nap yesterday in a very talkative mood. A car honked outside, and he said, “Car”. Things just got better from there.
We watched “Ni Hao, Kai-Lan” for the first time. The show teaches elementary Chinese words along with english. The character said, “Oh no!”. Sawyer looked at me and said, “Oh no!” He never repeated it on camera as well, but you get the picture.
Then the little kids on “Yo Gabba Gabba” were counting to six. When they got to four, Sawyer shouted out “Four!” I guess that is his favorite number.
He capped off the evening with helping to save elephant from impending doom and to build his elephant puzzle.
I’m not sure if this is a good representation of Sawyer’s new words or how he selectively choses to listen and answer us.
Yes, Sawyer is using new words everyday since arriving in Ohio. So far he has said, in his own way, Grandpa, Grandma, fire truck, read, ball, and airplane. Unfortunately, he won’t say them on cue yet. He will just pick up a toy and say “Airplane!” and then go along his merry way.
Here Sawyer is reading with “Grumpa and Grumma” Truitt.
