An Entire Sentence

Our little rascal can talk, if he wants to! He may not have everything down path, which is not to be expected either, but he can mimic perfectly.

Lil' Kc was playing with his cell phone. Opening it, pushing buttons, holding it to his ear and babbling along. He hands it over to me and of course, Oma plays along. I pretended to be talking to his little buddy, whom April baby-sits at times.

Kc was watching me closely. I gave him back the phone and told him Brandon wanted to talk to him. He grabbed it and put it to his ear. I said: " It's Brandon. Say hello Brandon. How are you doing?"

Without hesitation, an 'Ow aya doin' came out of his mouth. I was baffled. That was the first understandable sentence I had heard!

His speech is improving by the day. We try to encourage him, but why should he? Why talk, when he knows full well that all he has got to do is say "Huh?" and Oma already figured out what he wants.

Yeah, I know, it is not helping. Seeing that cute little face, with those big eyes looking up at me, I can't help it. Okay, maybe I can. Maybe I just don't want to. :-)
