Although he is now over 2 years of age, Jamie is still not big on using words. English words, that is. He retains his fluency in baby babble, which is cute at 12 months but not so much at 26. However, in spite of his continued language deficit, he is often able to communicate exactly what he wants. This morning, when he decided he was ready to break his fast, he trotted over to the pantry and selected a can of mandarin oranges. This he handed to me. Then, standing on his tiptoes, he opened the utensil drawer and rummaged through the jumble of tools until he found what he was looking for - the can opener. I have to confess that I was very proud of this ability - he knows what a can opener is! And where to find it! Now, if I can just get him to say, "Mother, I would like some mandarin oranges for breakfast," I'll feel even prouder.
Hell, just a "Jamie hungwy" would suffice...
