I realized last week I've taken communication for granted when Maddie and I had our first real conversation!
We were walking to the park.
Maddie was in her stroller.
As we turned the corner, and she realized we were going to the park this was our conversation...
Maddie: (squealing with delight) YAY!! Slide, yay!
Me: Yeah, the slide? Is that what you're most excited about?
Maddie: Kank-ooo (thank-you) momma!!
She's always been able to communication, whether it was non-verbal, using signs/gestures, and a few words here and there.
But this...
was a REAL back-and-forth conversation!!!
It's so exciting : )
She's accomplishing so much.
I can only imagine what things she will accomplish next year.
she's getting so big! I've only posted a couple of times, but I wanted you to know I'm a big Maddie fan. What a sweetie-pie! And I love the way you approach exposing her to everything she's encounter in her future. I think my favorite post was the one where she was dancing with your husband at a wedding (perhaps last summer?)... gosh, she's just blossoming! Will be back for more Maddie adventures during this holiday season.
