I’ve finished up the body of Eris (if you don’t count stitching the hems together).

It’s now time to steer this ship towards Sleeve Island.

I have to brag…. my brilliant child said a five word sentence today.  That’s a big deal for any toddler but for a toddler with apraxia… this is huge. 

We went for a walk downtown and when we were coming out of the chamber of commerce there was this dog standing there.  The dog followed us home.  So I started playing with him a bit and he relaxed enough so I could check his tag.  Turns out he has a microchip so I called the company and they contacted the owner.

While waiting to hear back from the owner (which took several hours……no good deed goes unpunished) I was trying to entertain the dog to keep him from disappearing.  I tossed a ball to him for a bit while AG giggled and said "hi dog" over and over.  Well, Charlie (his name according the microchip people) got tired of playing and just lay down in the grass.  He picked the ball up and set it aside and just looked at us.  Anna Grace looked at me and then  said "hi dog no ball go".  In other words…. dog won’t play with the ball anymore.  I was stunned.  She’s never strung together a set of words like that (that I recognized) nor has she ever strung concepts together like that. 

Maybe this means we need to get a dog?
