What fun two and a half years brings. In our opinion, Z is such a great kiddo. He is really coming into his own these days. We are not sure if it is his sudden burst of talking ability or just getting older, but Z’s confidence has blossomed. He is super into playing with other kids even if he they are new friends. He runs off as soon as we get to a park to play with whatever kiddos are around. He often wakes up asking to have a playdate with either Ka’iwi, Nalu, or Keawe. He is also super into doing things himself. Often at night he tells us he wants to “read self” and proceeds to recite his books. He also is into putting himself to sleep and tells us “bye, bye, go night, night.”
I asked Zadoc what he wanted to add to Z’s update and he said that he is talking up a storm. He then said that he isn’t just using safe language, but trying to put together bigger concepts. For a kid who had exactly 10 words six months ago, he has made HUGE strides. At his evaluation the testers were blown away by his vast vocabulary. When you read a book with Z, if there is a picture of something he isn’t sure about, he will point to it and say “this.” He wants to know what everything is. What is crazy is that you usually only have to tell him once and he will remember. The only issue we still have, is we are working on articulation. I am not sure what is normal for this age and I am probably overly critical, but we do have a ways to go until everyone can understand what Z is saying. However, his words are getting clearer by the day.
I just interviewed Z, this is what he shared:
What is your favorite show: Max and Ruby
Favorite Toy: Buzz Lightyear and Woody
Favorite Food: Watermelon
Favorite Friend: Momma (he scored points with that one!)
One other tidbit about Z is he hates getting his picture taken. I did the best I could, but they are not the greatest...
