A few weeks ago our sweet Ethan started talking. Hooray! It has been a concern of mine as to when that would start. Not because I thought something was wrong, but because a child who can communicate seems to cry less and be happier. When Heidi and Steve came to stay a few weeks ago Ethan was able to see Wyatt and how he could communicate. He uses quite a few words. Then a few days later Maggie and Jacob came for a day and Gordon….well….what else would you expect from the child of a speech therapist…..he could talk more clearly than Bryce. Maggie played with Ethan and found that he could make quite a few sounds and gave me instructions as to how I could help him. Then he suddenly started to form words. Surprising to me was two of his very first and most clear words were “Hope” and “Bryce”. It is so heartwarming to see such a strong bond between siblings. How Ethan loves his older playmates! A week or so later came “Daddy” and then “Mommy”. (However, once he could say “Mommy” he hasn’t grown tired of using it…to my delight)
