Just a bit of chit chat...

Roman and Capri talk all the time and have full conversations daily. Unfortunately, we still can't understand most of it. Capri has become quite the chatterbox and can sometimes talk so much that she slips out of English and into her own jibber jabber. Usually, however, I understand everything she says and love the fact that she enjoys learning new words and phrases all the time. She literally lights up and looks at you like, "Did you hear me say that?!" I also love how she can now express herself, tell me if she has an ouchie and where, as well as show concern for others. Just the other day, Roman bumped his head. She responded immediately with, "You okay Roman? You need a bandaid Roman? I sorry Roman." So sweet, especially ending each sentence with his name.

Roman has picked up this habit as well. In the midst of the constant jibber jabber (yes, it has come back in full swing), he refers to Capri when he says Waff or Wa-waff. I know, it sounds just like Capri. You would think we would have figured out what he meant by Waff a long time ago! The funny thing is, he can say "pri" or "apri" but he has chosen Waff and he is going to stick to it. Capri totally gets it too. She knows that when Roman says Waff, that means her. I had put her in time-out the other day and Roman went over (this is pretty common-sweet boy that he is) and while rubbing her back says, "Ok Waff?" He must have learned from his sister. Speaking of copying his sister, we have found that this is the best way for him to learn new words. If Capri says it first, he is much more willing to give it a try. Fortunately, because of this and his speech therapy, he really is making progress. He is starting to put words together without me having to prompt him-good sign!

Roman also gets to go to a class every week that is set up just like preschool. Capri is so envious and gets to join him once a month. They absolutely love it and do so well. I can't believe they will be in a real preschool in just a couple of months-crazy!
