Today Neils pointed to something that had “MOM” written on it pretty big and said, “mother.” Melissa and I were shocked. We hesitate to assume that he read, but can’t think of any other reason he would have said that.
We have shown him the word “mom” many, many times, and I’m pretty sure that he does know that “Mom” and “Mother” are interchangeable, so it’s very likely.

Man, is Neils growing! Every day I look at him in amazement. His speech is getting so much clearing and he is able to express himself very well.
Today, I was home for lunch, and was just watching him talk about a book while sitting on Melissa’s lap. He was talking about the different pictures and using his imagination very well. My eyes got all wet just thinking about what a handsome, smart, and loving boy we have.
