Many of you know that Eleanor has been slow in speaking (although she is a great communicator and understands everything). But I am realizing more and more in recent days that much of that is due to her wanting to have control over something! No one can MAKE her talk!
So I say, "Eleanor, can you say 'red'?"
She says, "Nope."
I say, "Can you say 'ball'?"
She says "Nope."
And so the conversation goes.
BUT if I don't ask her to say anything, here are some things she has been saying on her own:
"Daddy, read the book please."
"No potty or poo-poo in there yet" - peering into the potty chair.
"Mommy, come sit here by you."
"What's that?"
"Come on, buddy!" - to the dog.
And so on.
Stinker! At least I know she has the capacity for speech!

Hey it's good to know the sweet E can stand her ground!
I'm glad BOTH of the kids are making such progress - talking and crawling and all!
I hope you all have a wonderful time in PA! Love you lots!
Cute pics! Wow- it's like you turn around once and everyone's kids are doing all sorts of new things! :) Glad you're feeling better. There's been a nasty something going around within my work lately, too. Blah. Thankfully it seems to be subsiding. Anyway, your kids are darling! :)
