Yes, Lil Man has reached his 22 month milestone! He possesses this amazing ability to restore his Grammy back to her feet after difficult days. After the ICU admission and weeks of IV's, procedures, and more testing, Lil Man decided to reinfuse my life and spirit with joy and encouragement.
One morning the week before last, I arrived to pick him up at his Mommy's office. They opened the back door and he blurted out, "GRAMMY"! I could barely believe what my ears had just heard. And again, he shouted, "GRAMMY!" Now, he had been calling GramPY, the endeared name of PEE and GramMY had been called MEE up to that time. No word like GRAMMY has brought such joy to my heart. Now, Lil Man follows me around the house and probably says, "GRAMMY" about one hundred times daily. (Forgive me, but Grammys are allowed to exaggerate when it comes to their grands!)
His vocabulary is amazing and we are tickled pink about a few of his word pronunciations. On his farm, they grow corn and beans. We ask him, "What crops does your Dad grow on the farm?" And he promptly responds, "Corn and beanAS". Beans are always pronounced BeanAS and we roll with laughter. We have to be cautious if we order green beanAS in a restaurant because all of us have found ourselves pronouncing beanAS in this unique fashion.
He has enjoyed July's fireworks, fairs and carnivals. Hopefully, this week if Grammy gathers up some energy, I will be able to take him to a local fair and carnival. He already has plans to play in his water table tomorrow. He was visiting this evening to celebrate his Uncle Philip's 31st birthday and he has already gathered up all of his water toys. He is so smart - just ask all of us who love him! We are not biased or partial in our assessments of his intelligence and many other talents.
