Quaid understands most everything we say to him and can follow simple instructions. However, his communication with us involves grunting, pointing and saying partial words. He does know several words, but after the excitement and clapping of the word, he cuts it off. For example, please has become "plll.." followed by a short raspberry. Book has followed this pattern as well. Poor Mikiya is called "Kaaah" and dog,cat and cow have become the sound they make. It's rather interesting to watch how he communicates and learns to speak (hopefully the same language I do).
As Quaid is learning basic words, Mikiya continues developing an active imagination. She creates kingdoms for her dolls with the doll castle, pony castle and little people pet shop. She happily creates exciting adventures for her dolls and teaches them to be friendly. Her Baby doll is getting ready for preschool and she is helping her learn her alphabet, colors, numbers and staying in the lines while coloring. Mike has offered to let her go to his school and he will stay and have preschool with me, but so far she doesn't particularly care for the idea.
Each day is an adventure, and I LOVE it!!!

Sounds so familiar. Maybe Dallin and Quaid could grunt to each other. And I wish Mikaila and Mikiya were close enough to play...they would have a ball!
