A lot.
Like, I picked him up at school and he said, laboringly but clearly, "Go to Judy's Howwwse."
Me: "Robbie, want to go to Kroger first?"
R: "No."
Me: "Want to go to 1391?"
R: "Not go home now. Judy Howwwse."
Chris popped over for a tiny bit. "Hi, Daddy!"
Seriously. All day long, he said things. It is totally freaking me out! He is answering questions verbally or with a nod or shake of his head. It's so sudden. It's so strange. Good-strange. I mean, it sure takes so much guesswork out of my day. And maybe I won't have to be so hypervigilant, either. I won't have to notice at what time and how much he eats. I can ask him if he's hungry!
Just think of that. Think.

I am both happy and a tiny bit jealous. Mostly happy.

It all adds up--your earlier post about his frustrations, his new friend- Reminds me of that scene in The Miracle Worker, when Helen Keller learns to sign Water.
The floodgates are opening...
It's a good weekend!

That's funny because I thought the same thing lu did about Helen Keller learning to sign "water". How exciting!
