Just joking! We think it is wonderful. It makes us ridiculously happy when he tells us what is on his mind even if it isn't what we want to hear. After all, we've waited a really long time for it and had to work really hard to get this far!
Here's the conversation from dinner tonight:
Chris sets Jaden's food down in front of him. When Jaden takes the time to actually look at it he shoots me a glare and says:
Jaden: "Why you give me that for?" Obviously he wasn't happy. He looked at me like I just asked him to eat dog poop.
Me: "What do you mean? It's chicken pot pie. It has everything in it that you like. Just try it."
Jaden: "I don't want it. I don't like it."
Chris: "Did you try it?"
Jaden: "No, I ddn't (his sort of slur of didn't)"
A few months ago he would probably have just pushed the bowl away and might have cried and fussed. It's nice that he can tell us exactly what he thinks and we can try to reason with him in a conversation. I'm sure there will be many, many more to come. One day I'll probably ask myself "why did I want him to hurry up and talk already?" Nah!
