By now, you have all seen & heard what a talker Wyatt has become. Seth & I love to try out new words with him & see which ones he will notice & repeat.But my new favorite thing is that lately he has come up with words & actions that seem quite caring. Now, whether or not he really knows what all of this means yet - who knows - but for now I have really enjoyed the following moments:
- Someone sneezes, and Wyatt responds with "Bless You" every time. This even happens in public with strangers who are totally taken back by this little person saying it!
- When Seth & I laugh about something together, Wyatt watches both of us, pauses & then roars with laughter himself.
- When Wyatt sees a Band-Aid on me (usually on a leg after shaving) he says "Boo-boo?" If he ever bumps anything or falls, he also says "Ouch! Hurts..."
- If he hits me (which we have been working on lately) whether intentionally or accidentally, he always seems to follow it up with a "Sorry, sorry, sorry"
- Finally, when Wyatt really desires something (usually the first glass of milk in the morning) he says "Please, please, oh nice..." - this is because when we first started learning please, when he would say it, I would say "That's so nice." Now, he just says it all together, possibly thinking that he will get what he wants faster!
We'll see what he comes up with next, but this truly has been the "fun age." Granted it has its daily challenges, I have really enjoyed these past few weeks/months. I have spent all this time waiting for him to do this & do that, and suddenly I wish I could just stop time & enjoy these moments just a bit longer...
