Westly has become a
chatter box!
I am so thankful his
verbal development has kicked in. He has gone from saying singular words to
stringing full sentences just over this summer. And now that he’s started, he
won’t stop! He talks about everything constantly. I love it!
But I think that’s also
the reason I’ve been a little more tired at the end of the day. I am having to
adjust to a little voice constantly chatting in my ear, and a little person
constantly needing me to respond and comment to him. And now that his voice is
in my ear, there’s no room for those other voices in my head.
I no longer have the
luxury of inner dialogue between my characters, or imaginative play with my
story. My story is no longer festering in my head. Which means I have to be
more purposeful about carving out time for that.
But it’s so worth it,
especially when West says sweet things like, “Mama’s pretty.”
