"Mo Pees" - this was the phrase from my son's mouth when he wanted more milk. We're struggling to get him to talk, and, at the same time, teach the simple things like, "When you want something, you say 'please.'" And despite a lot of effort I don't get any words at all, just a typical toddler "eh, eh" along with virulant body movement--refusal to vocalize much at all, but the other day I was surprised.
Jimmy was eating dinner and his milk glass was empty. I had been asking him, "Do you want more?" Jimmy can say and sign "more" but these days I got the "eh, eh" routine. But this time he distinctly said "Mo pees"--MORE PLEASE! YES! And he did it without my prompting! The small things like this really matter!
