This week's most ...

... wonderful linguistic accomplishment:

Spontaneous speech has been a long time coming for weeMiche. She's been able to repeat words with clarity for over half a year.

"Say Dada, weeMiche."

"Da-dah!"

But she had chosen not to use those words. Chosen not to refer to Mr. Miche or me with any label.

About a month ago she started to point to us and use the appropriate labels. But only to a third person. (As in, my Daddy's over there.)

Last night, weeMiche marched up to Mr. Miche, said "Da-dah" and proceeded to inform him of a task with which she'd like him to assist.

Brilliant!
