Recent forms of communication


Mikey has been expressing himself in many ways over these past few days:

1) Statements:
     "I want Mommy to brush my teeth."
     "I don't want to go to Eva's.  I want to stay home."
     "I'm hungry."
     "That's the coffee store/bank/gas station";

2) Questions:
     "Where?"
     "What's that?"
     "Where going?";

3) Exclamations:
     "Yo Ho, Let's GO!"
     "All aboard!"
     "BABY COME OUT! YOU ARE READY NOW!" (in a yelling voice)

4) BEGGING:

   "Mommy/Daddy, I want ________ NOW!  Pleeeeeeease?!?!?!?" 

(This is used for a variety of items: use of the iPad, watching TV, seeing a toy in one of the many catalogs we are getting in the mail with the holiday season approaching, etc.)

Also as a side note (since we are talking about Mikey's speech), Mikey has been NON-STOP talking for the past few weeks.  I have finally made it to the point in speech therapy where I can tell the therapist that my kid does not shut-up anymore!  I never realized how quiet our car rides used to be until now!  No more radio---we now converse about the vehicles on the road, the weather, Halloween decorations and other sightings.  Mikey is also the WORST backseat driver EVER.  "Mommy go this way" (while pointing) and "Don't go on the highway" are the most frequently used.
