Oliver is a spectacular young specimen. I am so fond of his good-natured attempts to communicate with us. Slowly, sounds are forming words in their most primitive states. “Eh, eh, eh, eh-eeehhhhhh!” is the sound a witch makes, or anytime anyone makes reference to a witch within Oliver’s earshot.<\/p>\n

“Jsssssss” is for “juice,” a beverage I have mixed feelings about, but one which has again made its entry into a young child’s life more because his older brother is so fond of it.<\/p>\n

“Towsssssss” is toast. Which means pretty much any bread product. Though I recently opened the pull-out drawer where we keep our toaster and found two plastic bagels snugly tucked inside of one slot (don’t worry, the thing isn’t plugged in). So, I guess a plastic product that has the appearance of a bread product counts too.<\/p>\n

“Shhhssssss” is shoes, of course. Which means, I want to get out of here. Pronto.<\/p>\n

And also, just recently, we discovered that Oliver is actually saying tons of words. But not really SAYING them. He whispers<\/em> his words. He whispers all of the animal noises he knows. A lion does not ROAR<\/em><\/strong>! it merely roars<\/em>. And if you are wearing one, Oliver will state the presence your hat<\/em>. And cheese<\/em> is nothing to shout about, either.<\/p>\n

And his trickery is simply genius. Because with a loud, social, outgoing, demanding, spirited older brother, I think Oliver figures he needs to think outside the box with this attention stuff. Competing in the typical “squeaky wheel” manner would still not outROAR Milo. No, a whisper will make them bend down. Listen. Come closer. Listen again. I will tell you something special<\/em>.<\/p>\n

And I will tell it to you in the mustache my brother demanded I wear with him this morning.<\/p>\n
