Current Topics of interest (followed by a typical G rumination on CTI):
Io [a school friend, with whom he had held hands on a walk to the park.] (Io, hand, Lisette, park.)
Pirates (pi-rat. ship. arr. hat. boots.)
bums (bum. cream. on.)
home (Mama. Mom. Baby. home.)
fire alarms (fire alarm. on. beep.)
who's on the phone (pa-pa. phone. hi.)
books(busy. town. read.)
belly activities (bite. kiss. raspberry.)

So, after all the worry this summer that G would NEVER talk, we now feel like we're over the hurdle. On the other side of the hurdle is every morning waking up to some riff on the following (can you guess the song?): "head. knees. toes. eyes. toes [cackle]." Which is a quick prelude to "Mama. hi. hug. up. " Notice his attempt to get into the good graces right before he gets to what he really wants.

And, yes, the advanced alphabet study continues. We've got "U" and "Q" now; "W", alas, continues to evade the young scholar.
