Milestones

Lucian has reached two verbal milestones in the past week.

First, he said his first sentence: Gigi, play. (Gigi is grandma, my mother) My Mom was so thrilled that she obeyed his command and ran into the next room to play with his trains.

Second, he said his first two syllable word without a repeat (like Gigi or Mama): birthday. It sounds more like bood-day because he hasn't mastered r's or th's yet.

This has been a hard week out of a long year for me. I'm dragged down by other things, most that I'm too sad and depressed about to write about. (because it might bring me down further) So I'm glad that I have something cheerful about which to write.

My son is a joy. Soon he'll be discovering his world in brand new ways, and he'll be able to speak about it.

That's definitely worth writing about.
