I Can't Hear You

Declan often tries to tell us things and he's too quiet. When we ask him to speak up, if anything he gets quieter.

Well this morning on the drive to Kellys he said something. I said "Declan I can't hear you. You need to speak louder."

For the first time ever he did speak louder.

Louder....and deeper....and slower.

I cracked up. I don't even remember what he was trying to tell me.

At Kellys, just after Declan finished his milk his friend Alexis walked in the door with her Mommy. She announced to Declan "I'm here!!"

When she got a smile from me but nothing from Declan she announced once more "I'm here!"

After ripping off her coat and boots she walked up the steps to be beside Declan. She gets really, really close to him. Declan reaches out and with the tips of his fingers pushes her back just a little by her belly. Personal space invaded. I love watchig these two little people learning and interacting.

Oh and speaking of learning. Declan can now sign the Alohabet song with about 5 letters wrong. Only 5! And he's says Z the American way but that's cool. He's learning his ABC's!!!!
