Chatty Mommy

Owen has proven to be very verbal.

His current word count is as follows:
Mom
Dad
Ball
Gama
Dog
Up
Down
More
All Done

We try to do sign language with him but I always laugh because I sign to him looking like a crazed monkey and then he looks up and me and says "all done". Now he will sign and say the word at the same time. Proof that sign language is not for every child.

Anyway! When Owen and I go out to run errands I always talk him through everything. I say "we need apples now.." "this ice cream is cold".. it is a constant chatty Cathy. Seriously! Anyway, today I was happily surprised when I loaded the groceries and said "now lets go return the cart." A man walking by said "Here, let me take it." I was so surprised because people around here don't usually do kind things for others. It made me think hummm maybe this crazed monkey chatty Cathy thing can work for this mommy. I guess all moms do it. And to be honest I don't mind looking crazy if people help me out a bit.
