Ok, it doesn't sound like a huge deal but when you've spent the past two & a half years trying to figure out what each cry, each facial expression means, to then have him tell you exactly what he feels, it's a pretty big deal.
It started with a simple, "Mummy, sore mouth," to tell me his teeth were sore (damned molars...). We now get a, "good fun!" after the park & Rhyme Time and even a, "John's not well," when he's feeling ill. Best of all he can even tell us when he's tired & wants to go to bed! Although that doesn't happen as often as I'd like...
With being able to communicate how he feels, he's also starting to pick up on other peoples emotions too, particularly David's. It's so heart warming to see him cuddle his little brother when he's upset & say, "it's ok, Day-bid. Mummy coming." And bring him toys when he's bored saying, "here you go, Day-bid, you have iss." He also picked up on me having tonsillitis after a trip to the doctors earlier this week and was on his best behaviour for his not-so-well Mummy the rest of the week. In fact, he even sees this photo & announces, "happy John there!"
This milestone makes me especially proud, to see my wee 6lbs 12oz baby growing into a walking talking, caring kid. Soppy, proud Mummy post done.

This is a huge milestone! LP is three next week and she often says 'Mummy I need .... to make me feel better' - so cute when they can express themselves so well, so helpful too! x
ReplyDeleteIt's so helpful! It's still early days but it's such a relief to know John's getting what he needs without going through a list as long as my arm trying to figure it out! xo
DeleteThis is so cute! It must be so much easier now he can tell you what's the matter - I find it so hard sometimes trying to work out what's wrong with Toby!
ReplyDeleteAlthough John is becoming better at communicating his needs, David is certainly not there yet! Just when we get the hang of one kid, another comes along to take us through it all again ;) xo
