Where is Mommy?

While vacationing in the Bahamas (tough life I lead, LOL), Camryn had her first 'real' conversation with Grandma Fitz. The morning we left, Camryn woke up and asked Gma "Where is Mommy?" Grandma said "On a trip." Camryn asked "To see friends?" Gma (suprised at the question) said "Yes" Camryn replied, "I am sad"


This is TOTALLY amazing. She is just starting to ask these type of "WH" questions, but I am really excited about the 'friends'and 'sad' part. This means she is following up, asking for more information AND expressing her emotions verbally. These are very big steps for her.

She has had all of this speech in her, but she has trouble with the back and forth of natural conversation. She usually TELLS you things, like what she sees, wants, etc. There usually isn't a true two sided conversation. She will answer your simple questions and offer you information, but there is rarely an 'exchange' of sorts. This is surely a step in the right direction. YEAH!!!
