Just had to post Dove's (short for Donovan My Love)  newest feat...

We were all finishing up dinner and Dove signaled that he was done in his usual manner...by throwing food and utensils. In my usual manner...I told him no and removed everything off the table within his reach before things got any messier. I leave him locked down safely confined in his booster chair while I clean up the kitchen most days. It's a lot easier to pick up smushed peaches from the floor if he is not there under the table trying to retrieve and eat them first. Today instead of screaming like a banshee he said most clearly  "I wan to geh down" I asked Tim "Did you hear that?" He confirmed that Dove is indeed a genius. I was so excited that I momentarily lost my mind and let him out of the booster chair. I kissed his face and put him down on the floor to see what he would do next. I was sorely disappointed when instead of telling me everything he had been thinking about for the last 22 mths, he just ran off to join his brother in the den. At least he didn't climb on top of the table and try to pull on the light fixture -- yeah he does that --- I guess I will just have to wait patiently for the next wondrous pearls of wisdom he decides to impart on his lowly parents.

His first sentence...and a commanding one at that. I couldn't be more proud. Stay tuned as I am sure to post about "Bring me Juice!" "Take me outside!" and "Change my Diaper!"  He's gonna be a leader..I just know it ;0)
