Ollie
just spoke with his AVT on the phone. Yes, at 23
months! He clearly understood her and offered her a
greeting. Then he wanted to grab the phone... well,
he is just a toddler.
Routine sentences that Ollie says lately:
Ah-yee syide! (Ollie slide-- he loves to slide at playgrounds or on his little toy in the backyard)
Kyuh's house (He likes to point out the neighbor boy's house, or any other home of someone he knows... this includes Lucas-- who he calles "goose,"Reece, Grandma and Grandpa, etc.)
Ah-yee eet more _____ (fill in the blank-- pretzels, goldfish, etc. are all intelligible)
Owside syide (see above)
Ah-yee's _____ (that's mine!)
Styoyer owside (I wanna go in my stroller on a walk!)
Eh-yee night night (Elliot's in bed)
oh my, Ah-yee (he says this when something spills or he makes a big mess)
Ah-yee cuhyuh (Ollie color)
no poops (self explanatory-- but he often denies the obvious) :-P
He just told me, while handing me a bowl... puhtzuhs empty, more puhtzuhs (the bowl is empty, I need more pretzels!)
It is very clear that Ollie can hear well and follow directions. He can be told several things and follow through with it (without seeing our mouths)-- such as put that in the garbage, go get a book, can you get your shoes, put the toy in the basket, etc. He can choose between food items to eat, such as chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese. He frequently tells me what he want to eat, or that he wants to get in his high chair, then tells me exactly what he wants for lunch. Last night he found some ipod earbuds (no ipod attached), held them to his ears and sang a little song. Very cute! His big brother Nick has let him listen in, and we look forward to our new Opus 2 processors which will have bluetooth connections and improved music program maps! Woohoo!
