Speech

After a 2 hour car ride this afternoon with plenty of snacks and drinks provided, nice new tinted windows to keep out the heat, and soothing music on the radio, the boys refused to take an afternoon nap. This was followed up after getting home & being changed with a minimum of a 30 minute crying episode, half together in their room, half separated with Eden in the Pack'N'Play in our room (thinking that would settle at least one of them).

I finally gave up and went in and "rescused" them both, comforted them until they were satisfied and played on the floor of their room with them while waiting for Joey to finish up his work day. And you know was my gift was for giving in? While reading a book to Isaac, he finally started repeating some of the words. First was "cat", and eventually, "dog" which they've both been trying to say for a long time, but just comes out "doh". I tried to get him to say bird and made all the animal sounds to go with it as a bonus incentive, but every time I said "tweet", all he would do is draw up another Micky Mouse smile and giggle at me.
