Last Thursday we were down at the audiologist at St Michael's Hospital to check out your hearing. You would ask 'why'? Though i am pretty sure your hearing is perfect, it is one of the things that the doctors need to do to figure our why you aren't talking yet. You did say 'de' and 'Ma-ma' today, and someday you say 'juice' or 'kak' aka cake, or 'oot' aka hot...even 'car' and 'cat-toon'...and 'catch'...But its different things on different days and never consistently. I wonder if you would think 'mom is over-reacting', but i just want to be sure that if you need any support with getting your words together, i am able to give you that. That might sound like a good explanation to a 20 year old you. But 2 year old you are clearly not impressed with my attempts and impositions. In other words, the hearing test was non-starter. At 30 i cant stand at a spot for more than a few minutes, that is a lot to expect of you, especially in room full of toys. End result, we have to reschedule your test for the 15th of May...!! lets see how that works out.
When i say you aren't talking yet, don't assume you aren't communicating. You are communication a lot. Just a few minutes back you told me to carry you and to put you to sleep by first pulling out me shawl, then pull my my finger so much that i would have to stand and then you openned your arms to me with cutest lil grin and a background sound that sounded more like uh-uh-uhhhh-uh :-) :-) And in 2 mins you were fast asleep with your head on my shoulder. You just know how to get the job done !!! When you are older that would be a pretty handy trait to have....especially if it works your Dad.
PS you have just gone to sleep on your cot-which has been our everyday tag of war for the last month...You hate it. But we have been trying to have you sleep on your own. Truth be told, i hate it too. And i miss my lil cuddly bunny right next to me. Muwahhhh!
