Funny Things Said

(The photo is from last July, but it fits the story.)

We are trying to encourage Colin to use his words as often as we can. I think he is learning. Tonight I heard a thud, and ran into the kitchen to see Kevin looking suspicious and Colin on the floor crying. Kevin told me "He was in my space. I needed more room." He was adamant that he did not push Colin though. After a moment of consoling, Colin stood up and firmly said "Stop. Stop. Stop." with his hand out towards Kevin. Way to stand up for yourself Colin. His toughness fell away when his next word came out. "Hug!" He made Kevin hug him.

Kevin and I were playing with a bunch of cards that have animals on them. First we sorted out the ones that fly, then the ones that live on the farm, and then the ones that live in the water. He did great spotting the otter, dolphins, fish, turtles and ducks. Then he added bear. I questioned him on the bear, to which he replied "They have to go in the water to get the fish."

It is always interesting!
