11 Apr

I took Liam outside for a little bit this afternoon.  Here are some snippets of our conversations.

Liam: Oooh, grass!

Me: What color is the grass?

Liam: Soft!

Me: Where's the yellow flower?

Liam: Lellow flower! 

Liam: Orange flower!

Liam: Red flower!

Me: That's right! 

Liam: I see flower.  Zey mame sneeze.  (They make me sneeze.)  Ahchoo!

Me:  Are you allergic to flowers?

Liam: Yeah.  Sneeze.

Liam:  I see a bug.

Me:  That's a bee.  What does a bee say?

Liam: BZZZZZZZ!

Liam:  I see a bee.  I see a tree.

Not everything is perfectly pronounced.  I tried to type things out how he says them when I could remember what he said.  His language explosion since he started school has been nothing short of extraordinary.  We are so, so proud of him.  Oh, he's not allergic to flowers.  We have no idea where he learned that flowers make you sneeze.
