and we have... sentences!

The Boy has begun to speak in sentences. This happened rather quickly. OK, not quickly, necessarily, because he's 2, and has been struggling with this FOREVER, but quickly in the sense that one day he had a few words, and the next day - sentences. Just like that. Lightening speed.

Yesterday he looked at me and said "Mama please more juice?". I was astounded. I had never heard him speak more than 2 words together before, much less use the word "please". Daddy says they've been working on that one for a while. Little did I know.

Today he watched as I walked to the curb and he said "Mama get mail!", which is exactly what I was doing. Smart little fella, he figured that out after seeing me do it 100 million times. Darn if he doesn't know exactly what the box with the red flag is for. He's known for ages, of course, but suddenly he can say it!

It's all very exciting, and very cute. I am just loving this age. He is getting past the "I need my mommy every second of my existence" phase, and he is starting to play, and now speak, like a big kid.

I just love The Boy.
