Tis the Season to Be Thankful
The Feefadders were over for dinner last night when Grandmother pointed out that Adlai seemed to be saying "Thank you." Asked to repeat himself, he again said "ank ooo" and, as the evening progressed, "ank you" (adding the "y" sound after a dramatic pause between the words). As I was putting him to bed he continued to repeat the phrase.
Although he is mastering so many words at this point, it isn't clear that he understands what he means. While he was being nursed in the wee hours of the morning, he looked up at the clock radio, waved and cheerfully greeted it with "Hi Da!"
