Jamie is talking to his Grandad on the telephone. He is describing what he made at his friend's house yesterday afternoon.
"Grandad, you know what I made?" he asks
"Buzz Lightyear Wiiings!!!" (excitement!)
I smile as I listen, with a sense of sadness. "Buzz Lightyear?"
What happened to Buzzlightyoo? For two and a half years we have had Buzzlightyoo in our house. A contraction of "Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue". That is how he has been known.
But now. Now.
Now we have Buzz Lightyear. Just like everywhere else.
He is growing up, my son. His speech is improving.
And whilst I am glad about that on one level, I am also reluctant to let go of my toddler son. It's just another step towards big boy-hood.
Oh well, I still have "annugga", "beepooter" and "bemember". I will enjoy them while they last.
And now he's telling his grandad knock knock jokes.
"Knock Knock. Who's there?"
"Mr Potato Head!"
Hahahahahahahaha!
LOL.

Connor is still quite delayed for a 4 yr old, a couple years behind

i hear you Kathy!! dd3 is growing up way to fast too, her ability to converse and use the words that she does when doing so, also leaves me feeling that my baby is no longer my baby, but a big girl!! infact, i'd go as far as to say ... a 3yo going on 13 yo!!
They are growing up too fast, Ben has just watched Toy Story for the first time and calls him Buzz Lightgear. Knock Knock jokes are a favourite too.
Love all your lo's lately you must be busy.
Keep dry lol.
Awww Kathie.... something about this post touched a heart string...
I miss the way my kids used to talk too....which seems ridiculous seeing they are all so old now...thank goodness for some old video footage.
Jamie is so lucky to have you capturing every moment along the way.... much love...Mardi x
That's so cute Kathie. One thing is the same as 14 years ago... Toy Story. My son use to love Buzz and Woody. Sadly, he is 17 now... I miss those days. Enjoy every moment Kathie. :)
hehehe!! what a cutie!!
still stalking your blog!! ;)
xoxo
Hi Kathie I am so glad to here that Jamie's speech is improving it must be such a relief for you. The learning support teacher assessed Lucy's speech last week and she has some problems still and they told us to give her 6 months and have her re assessed. Usually they don't check the kids at her school until prep so at least they are aware of her now. Jamie is lucky really because he has very supporting parents that are active in his learning. Many parents are not which is sad.
Take care
Belinda
It's bittersweet! But how fabulous that his speech has improved so much, you have put in so much work, I am so thrilled that it is paying off for you all!
