Watching What I Say

One of the benefits of Sam's slowly-but-surely speech development is the delay of having him repeat things I don't want him to. He still doesn't tell me no, which is a beautiful thing.

A few days ago we were all in the living room and Eric fell asleep on the couch. That is one of my pet peeves, so I said, "Eric, go to bed." Eric opened his eyes for a moment and then went back to sleep. Sam and I continued to play, with me asking Eric to go to bed every few minutes.

Finally, Sam was tired of listening to me ask. With a very stern look and even firmer voice, he turned to Eric and said, "Da da, bye-bye. BED."

It has begun!
