A is for...

I am finally starting to have "conversations" with my little guy! It makes me so happy that he is responding to me, answering me, following instructions & sometimes obeying me! :) Yesterday at Panera we started to get out of the car and I said, "Ryder, I need you to stay with Mommy when we go in to eat, do you understand me?" To which he said, "Yes, Momma." We went in and he was a little thrown by all the cookies in front of him, but I picked him up and said, "Ok, do you want grilled cheese or peanut butter?" And he said, "gilled cheezzzzzz." :) We were getting ready to go out this morning and I said, "Oh we need a diaper to take with us." I turned around and here he comes with a diaper from his room. He walked over, stuffed it in my bag and smiled proudly :) This topped it all though... We were in target and he saw apples and started saying over and over "Apple, Apple, Apple," so I thought, ok the apples are on sale we'll get some apples. I got them, let him hold them and as we were walking away, I said, "Yes, apples. What letter does apple start with?" (Not really expecting an answer.) And as clear & quick as can be he said, "A!" Yep, and I even asked again in front of the checker lady to see if it was a fluke and he said it again... he IS listening to my constant babbling!!!
