Processing, Léo style

Léo is really talking a lot now. And he needs to process what he sees and experiences. All the time. When he hurts himself he "tells" us all about it by pointing to where it hurts ("that"), then pointing at the place he hurt himself ("that").

Tonight while I was rocking him he talked about something he saw this weekend. The conversation went like this:
"- Eelo, dada, mama, mmm.
- Léo, dada, and mama were eating?
- Yea. Boo choochoo beep-beep.
- You heard the blue train honk from far away?
- Yea. Ning-ning-ning-ning.
- And then the crossing signal went on.
- Yea. Down, down, down.
- And the barriers went down, you're right.
- Oh, boo choochoo!
- And the blue train arrived.
- Bye-bye boo choochoo.
- And after that we said goodbye to the blue train?
- Yea."
x 20!!

I love this -even though it means that he takes 30 minutes to fall asleep!
