My boyfriend, Thomas, is growing up. Of course, that happens. He won't give me any kisses at the moment. He's started to defy me every now and then. And he is no longer agreeable about eating his veggies.
Ah, but he's my last baby. He's perfect. It doesn't bother me a bit to get up and feed him in the night. He's my preferred bed partner (no snoring, though his perpendicular sleeping is often inconvenient). Sometimes he crawls over to me in the night to lay across my midsection. We are very bonded.
He doesn't say many words, though. I'm not sure if it's time to be concerned, but I'm taking note. He says a handful of words, but never says them all in the same day. Here's what he's got:
Hair: "How"
Nose: "No"
Mouth: "Mao"
Cat: "Mao"
Mom: "Maaaaa"
Hello: "Hi-yo"
Bye: "Bye-bye"
Uh oh: "Uh ho"
Thomas is very responsive to full sentences, like "Do you want something to eat?" He prefers to grunt his response. Yes sounds something like "Eh!" and no is approximately "Mmmp!"
Are you hungry? "Eh!"
Want a fresh diapie? "Eh!"
Where's the Mao? "Mao? Mao? Mao?"
Can I have a kiss? "Mmmp!"
Please kiss your Mama! "Mmmp!"
Whatever.
I kiss him anyway. 💓
