During the month of November Parker seemed to have another language spurt! This is a phase of toddlerhood that I absolutely LOVE!! I remember when I used to teach in a toddler classroom and I always thought it was so neat to watch the kids go through language spurts seemingly overnight! I think it's so fun that I now get to watch my sweet "baby" boy go through it! :)
During the first week of November, what used to be one word phrases had suddenly turned into 2 word phrases! He could frequently be heard saying, "open door", "more please", "more nugget/cheese/(or whatever else he wanted more of)", "close door", etc...
During the second week of November it was, "open the door", "up and down" (said as he'd bounce up and down), and "open the door, garage".
November 17th he started saying "Read me a book." instead of just bringing a book over and saying "read it". Oh, and FYI about that, when he doesn't say please, we ask him to say "Will you please read me a book" or at least ask him how we ask politely and he responds with a very sweet "please". :)
It has gotten to the point now where he pretty much ONLY uses at LEAST 2 word phrases to communicate his wants/needs to us or just for communication in general! :) This morning he was standing next to James and my bed and saying "up on the bed" to let us know he wanted up...yesterday morning James told me he asked Parker if he wanted Cheerios for breakfast and he said Parker said, "No, me eat toast", then earlier today Parker got out his "Cars" sticker/coloring book and said, "sticker on shirt, no on the paper"! My sweet boy is SO much fun!! :)

Ha, I had to laugh when I read that Parker said "no me eat toast" because Kylie asks for toast all the time. Every day I ask her what she wants for breakfast and she almost always says "I want toast please mommy." (Except for the other day she asked for chicken nuggets, but that's a different story!) It's funny to watch their language development because it's so different for each child. Like I remember Parker saying so many words before Kylie could even though he's younger than her, but as soon as Kylie starting talking a lot more around 18 months she was saying almost full sentences. Just like she wouldn't say any animal noises and of nowhere on day, she said about 20 of them! Weird kiddos.
