So I mentioned last time that Bug has started repeating things he hears when we're out and about. We are definitely seeing an increase in him repeating what we say, even if he doesn't really understand it.
On Friday I asked him if he wanted to call Grandma Trew on Skype. He said "Gran" which took me by surprise. I asked him if he said "Grandma" and he said "please" (which is how he confirms that he wants something). Later that day when he wanted my phone, he asked for Gran again...so I think he might think it means something about using the tech stuff.
The other funny one was while we were at the ReStore, Adam kept telling Bug "Don't touch" while we were walking through. Bug started going over to things and saying "Dohn tuh. Dohn tuh". He was still touching, so now we're joking that he thinks things are called "Don't touch". There are a lot of don't touches. ;)
Another thing we've noticed is an increase in him actually playing with toys. He's been very interested in cars lately, "driving" them and making them say "vroom". We also got him a sit n spin toy that he likes to go to sometimes. It's funny because he's actually a little big for it, but he does enjoy spinning himself and it's a good sensory toy.
We made it to church again today! We were running late because of Wiggle, but we went anyway. Today it was only Bug, Wiggle and one little girl. Bug calmed down much faster and headed off on his own, so I was able to leave for at least a little bit. When we went to get him, he was playing and didn't even seem that excited to have us back ;) We didn't do communion, but it was still a lot of progress over last week.
The more successful experience showed us that it seems to be more about how overwhelming it is rather than us leaving.
