Max's Limited Sentences

Being a second child means that Max is constantly being compared to his older brother. I remember when Jalen was about 2 years 4 months old he really turned the corner and started talking in full sentences. He'd say things like "I want to sit next to you". Max, on the other hand, is still in baby talk mode. He says a lot of things but only I can understand them because I "talk" to him everyday. He is talking in 3 to 4 word sentences though and here are some examples:

I need help
I wanna go bye bye
I ride bike!
I wanna watch TV
I'm bao bao (full)
I want nai nai (milk)
I'm sorry
I want wafu (waffle)
I don't want it
I play cars!
Bye bye choo choo train!

Scenes From the New Daycare

One of the benefits of the new school, Bright Horizons, is that they send frequent email communications including pictures each week.  It's a new thing that we didn't have our old school and we've been really loving the ability to peek into their days at school.

Here's Jalen in his class on his first day.  He's still a little shy, but he loves coloring.

Here's Jalen on his trike.  The daycare features a small, grass-less, playground which is a departure from the suburban daycare.

Here's Max on his first day, tentatively looking at the toys.  What you don't see here is a big window overlooking the Space Needle and a, uh hum, gentleman's club.
