Sentences!

Cale has added a new language skill in addition to learning new words: now he's trying to form sentences. He strung together three concepts this morning while I was trying to find the loose end on a tightly-wrapped bobbin. He stood on tip-toes at my elbow and said Mommy, Mommy, pretty please, have it (three concepts stacked together). You know, I didn't need to let that bobbin frustrate me, so Cale got it. Such a fun time!

Cale has a bit of runny nose, possibly just seasonal allergies since I saw some ragweed blooming. Also, Karston said his tummy hurt today for the first time in ages. I'm hoping it's either what Cale has (allergies or a cold) or because he hasn't eaten well today, and not a return to the bad old days of consistent gastrointestinal pains. Karston was doing well when I asked him for a month or so, and I started asking because it seemed like several months without mentioning his stomach. Just as Cale turned a food corner when he turned two, I think Karston may have turned a food corner when he turned four (maybe four-and-a-half). I want to stay on the improvement trajectory!
