Our First Real Conversation

Although he is just 2 months shy of turning 2, Jamie has not had a whole lot to say. By this age, it seems like Caity had a much larger vocabulary and variety of ways of expressing herself. But with Jamie, less is apparently more. So imagine my glee when we shared this exchange this morning:

Jamie: Hot.
Me: Hot?
Jamie: Hot.
Me: What's hot?
Jamie: No!

I was changing his clothes at the time; we were in his room, far from the stove, the sun, or any other heat source. So I'm not sure what was on his mind, but I feel it was a step in the right direction nonetheless.

Overheard

Okay, yes, I know I'm way behind on posts. I usually don't have much to talk about, other than how much I'd like to sell Jamie to the next person who walks by (no, I wouldn't really do that. Right?). Anyway, I overheard a conversation between Caity (who will turn 4 next month) and our next-door neighbor Rebekah (who turned 4 in February) that I simply had to make note of:

Rebekah: I ate THREE pieces of pizza!
Caity: Well, I ate FOUR pieces of apple pie!
Rebekah: Really? When? Yesterday, or tomorrow?
Caity: Tomorrow.

Sometimes preschoolers are very entertaining, especially when they're not trying to be.
