Amazing toddlers, mine included. I think we underestimate their emotional abilities in our desperate attempts to control the damage they can do to themselves and others.
Scenario: Daniel at the hospital after his surgery. I was very loving and very available, more so than usual. Daniel came over to me, looked me in the eye, said "thank you" and kissed and hugged me with great love and tenderness. It was so special.
Sweet: Daniel calls trains "voogas," and gets really excited and does a happy dance when he sees a train (or anything that resembles one, like an Oslo tram or even a tractor-trailer). He talks so much and we can make out some of what he is saying, but his speech is still unclear. What is clear though is that he has so much he wants to share, and the tones and inflections along with hand movements, make that plain. Yum!
