The Dreaded Word

Colin has added a new word to his vocabulary this week, "why?". I'm not sure that he totally understands what he is asking, but he uses it at very appropriate times.



At the bus stop this morning, after begging to get "down" & play on the playground:

Me: "Colin, it's time to go home."

Colin: "Why?"

Me: "Because we have to get ready to go see Miss Debbie (his PT)."

Colin: "No" (currently his other favorite word)

Me: "Colin, you need to talk nicely to Mommy."

Colin: "Why?"



We have been so excited that he has started vocalizing what he wants rather than signing for everything. Now I'm beginning to wonder why I was so anxious!

Uh-oh. ;) It's definitely a blessing and a curse (as in, mostly a blessing but sometimes it drives me to want to curse).
