In speech therapy we have been focusing on getting Reid to string two words together. This has been slow going getting him to do this consistently on his own. However, this morning he clearly said, "Noooooooooo, MINE!" while whisking a book away from Luke. Hooray......we'll take it, even if it is a phrase that poor Luke probably would have been reprimanded for had he been the one to say it :). But, for Reid, we'll take those two words as a celebration! This means something is triggering and perhaps we are on the verge of several two words connections....
I think it's great! He's is falling into the little brother position perfectly! :) Well done Reid...their milestones are just a little extra sweeter, aren't they! :)
I am blessed to be married to an incredibly loving and kindhearted man, Toby, and I am a mom to 2 boys...I am in the chapter of my life that involves baseball games, homework, playdates, diapers, and dump trucks. It is simply the best! With every part of my being I love being "Mom" and have learned the depth at which my heart can go when our youngest son was born with Down syndrome. This blog was created to connect with other families on this same journey that an extra 21st chromosome presents. Join me as I journal about Down syndrome, life, and raising Reid and his big brother Luke.

That is awesome! I sooo understand your excitement!
Hehe! I think all preschoolers need to master that phrase- just as all teenagers master "Whatever mum"! Go Reid!
Way to go my handsome little friend!!
Any chance we will get together for a play date before the holidays are here ... or I suppose, they are already here aren't they!
Yay Reid! That is so exciting!
BRIL - LIANT!
(does that count as 2 words too?)
And it shows he knows how to assert himself. He will need that in life...!
Typical phrase for a toddler, LOL!!
WTG Reid!!!
