Eh, eh, eh, eh

It must be nice to be a toddler who cannot form words. Point and say "eh! eh! eh! eh!" Let the parents figure it out. Since Jared's volcabulary is limited to "ba" for ball, "fa" for fan, "ca" for car, "ma" for mom, and of course, "ba ba ba ba" for belly button, anything else turns into a guessing game. At dinner, he'll point in the general direction of food and we must offer him different food items to see what it is he wants. After dinner tonight, Jared saw a grape being handed to Alex from a bowl - two seconds later, the all too common "eh! eh! eh! eh!" Of course, he wanted some and proceeded to stuff them in his mouth.

Of course, he seems to like handling the fork himself with dinner even though he's not very good at using it. Sine dinner wasn't ready yet, I handed Jared a piece of bread to tide him over and as I was handing a piece to Alex, I discovered that Jared had put the piece of bread down and was using the fork to lift the bread into his mouth. I see the logic of it, but it was too funny.
