Tally Talk

Our Iittle number 2, Talmage, has been slow to speak because of his hearing. He had fluid in both ears and had to get new tubes placed in his Ears. SO, now that his hearing is back, he is talking better and better and we are finding out what is on his little mind! He is so funny and he says the cutest things. He is working on learning his colors right now and it is hilarious. He has names for all the colors and they are all just so....Talmage! When we practice the colors, here are the names he says everytime: (some right, some... creative!)

Wellow
Daddy Blue
Pink Girl
White
Ba-Red -and I say, "Just rrred." And he says, "Ba Red."
Purple
Black
Turtle Green

And this is his funny comment the other day when our cute neighbor Beckie came and picked him up to take him to her house for lunch! She buckled him into her car and then she said to him, "Oh you are ADORABLE." And then Talmage replied, "I'n not DORABLE, I'n TALMAGE." Then he folded his little chubby arms and nodded his head. So hearing hasn't really changed his little nature, just made communicating a lot easier.

We are so proud of his progression and feel so blessed to have found out about his hearing. Hopefully he can continue to catch up and be ready for preschool in the fall. :) Now we need to work with him on sharing and being more gentle. He has super human strength and combined with and inability to share makes for a scary combination sometimes! Tyler, our five year old, constantly tells us how STRONG Tally is. "He is stronger than me MOm," he'll say.

We love you so much Tally. We are so happy that you are ours! :)
