Bevans speech

It has been six weeks since Bevan got his grommets put in. We had a checkup
and the doctor says that his ears are looking very healthy and the grommets
are sitting in there well.

Bevan is attempting to say long sentences, although they are very mumbled
and I cannot understand them.

He is growing his vocabulary a lot. He can now count to ten, it sounds a
bit like:
"one..tooo..fee..for, fii, seis, beben, eight, niine, ten". Very cute. I
was stunned the first time he did it as I thought he could count to 3 and I
was overhearing him and he just kept on counting.

He is getting more interested in songs. He indicates to me with gestures
which song he would like. Current favourites are the babys verse of wheels
on the bus, twinkle twinkle, happy and you know it, head shoulders knees and
toes, and the tiny tim turtle song. They are all action songs and he joins
in with some of the actions.

His favourite word is No. Pretty standard for a toddler. Strangley enough
he never says Yes, but instead says "I do". When he accidentally on purpose
hurts me or someone else he will now pat us and say "okay", to make us feel
better. Actually sometimes he has been hurt and when I'm hugging him better
he pats ME on the back, haha.

He has also been busy doing a lot of art. He draws circles and spirals and
waves. He asks me to draw him cars and buses a lot. Sometimes he will point
to his picture and say mummy, I don't know if that means he is drawing me or
not.
