My nephew was in a glorious mood this evening. From the moment my feet stepped through the door frame, my ears were filled with Wei-J's joyful chatter.
He stood so proud - ready to speak with newly found confidence. During the past several weeks, I have heard his shy attempts to sound out and share his words. He always seems a little hesitant to boldly USE the words. Tonight, he looked at kitty, touched her ear, and said "essz," then he pointed to his ears to make sure I understood. After that, he pointed to himself and used the sound for his name. When ShuShu walked through the door, Wei-J swiftly took off and greeted him with an enthusiastic "HiiiI." His proud words and generous smiles filled the house this evening.
While we browsed for his Halloween costume, a pair of orange jack-o-latern crocs found their way into our cart. Wei-J smiled his scrunchy smile, and stated, "Shsssz." (Shoes)
How smart is he???
He picked up an empty tupperware, pretended to put food in my mouth, and motioned for me to chew. May I remind you that he is only 17 months... that is SO impressive. Pretend play is a cruical part of a childs development. I felt honored to be included in his wonderful world of pretend.
So I could go on and on. His language development is so amazing to follow. I had such an amazing night with the little guy. I allowed my mind to wander... soon-to-be moments in our lives... decorating Christmas cookies, making special secretive gifts for his mommy, meeting his someday little cousins.
I dreamed about going to China this week. It made my heart warm and fuzzy... it felt right.
For M-I-L: We made the spinach salad for the 2nd week in a row! It is SO good! I found myself craving it over the weekend. Thank you for sharing! We miss you...
Love to all my faithful followers,
Chelle
