The one with Mastery of 'Are you' questions...

I've noticed that DS has actually started to ASK some questions. This is a HUGE event because I had no idea how long it would take us to get here. They are still squeaky, shaky, and fairly planned out.... but it's amazing.
I think he has noticed everytime I say 'Thank you for asking a question' and has built on that praise a want to do more.
'Are you reading your Bible, Mommy?' he says to me this morning.
Yes, I am. Thank you for asking a question!
'Are you over?' (meaning over the other side of the gate)
I am over this side of the gate. Good question.
'Are you drinking Coffee?'
Yes, I'm drinking Mommy's coffee.
I see him adding 'are you' to the beginning of a lot of things that began as a one word prompt and have slowly been added to..... Certainly a great show of learning on his part.
YAY... a little dance... and more YAY!!

'DS, Are you making HUGE gains?'
'Are you getting stronger and stronger?'
'Are you making your mommy do the happy dance?'
YES, you are!

(((HUGS))) I am so happy for you and E! That's awesome. There's no stopping him now. And, bonus: no pronoun confusion.

What is pronoun confusion? b/c he also says things like 'he did it' (about himself); 'Your turn' (for himself); 'My turn' (for me); can you have it? (for himself)

BTW, I keep meaning to tell you that I love the new (well, probably not anymore, LOL) blog colors and photo.
