The "B" Words

For a long time, Nicholas was only clearly saying words that started with the letter B such as baby, boo boo, bottle, Bible, ball. We knew what he meant with other words such as gog was frog and gack was Jack, but in the last month he has had a language explosion. He is parroting everything we say. Before, I would ask him where very various body parts were and he would point to them. Now, he say, "Mom, knee" and points to his knee. He is also beginning to say his ABCs and numbers as well. It is really cute how Patrick is trying to teach him things. I have barely started potty training. I am trying to encourage him by asking him to go in the potty and he giggles and says "No, diapers..Elmo go tee tee in potty" (just in case you didn't know, Elmo has a DVD called Potty Time). Oh well, it does take boys longer, I have heard. His tempermeant was a lot better this past week. I am hoping that we went through the terrible twos early and he is moving beyond them as he is able to communicate with us better.
