What we're up to...in case you are wondering.

Last night, Owen and I had our first "conversation". It was so much fun! The best part is that it was all about the "bay-bee". It went like this {Note: I include baby names here, but don't hold us to them--they are subject to change!}:

Owen: Mama? Bay-bee.
Mama: Yes. Mama is having a baby.
Owen: Bay-bee
Mama: The Bay-bee is going to make you a big brother.
Owen: Huh?
Mama: You are going to be a big brother!
Owen: Bay-bee
Mama: If it is a little sister, her name will be Maggie. Can you say 'Maggie'?
Owen: Maggie {said with absolute perfect enunciation}}
Mama: Wow! That's good, Owen. If it is a little brother, his name will be Liam. Can you say 'Liam'?
Owen: Huh?
Mama: If it is a boy, his name will be Liam. Can you say 'Liam'?
Owen: Huh?
Mama: Hmm. Sounds like if we want you to say the name we have to change it....
Owen: Uh-oh.
{hugs and kisses ensued}

On a seperate note, this little man is a book worm if I ever saw one. His absolute most favorite thing to do {well....second favorite....playing with the "ball" is still numero uno} is to read and practice his words.

Today, we went through books for at least an hour and a half of the day. Owen points, I say what the object is, and he repeats it if he thinks he can. If he isn't confident, we move on to the next. So much fun!!!
