First 3-Word Sentence!

Yesterday Benjamin said his first original 3-word sentence! He often repeats +2-word sentences he hears us say or on Noggin (ok, Nick Jr. now--boo!). But yesterday he said, "Mommy, boobie now." He used that sentence several times yesterday and again today. He is getting the concept of time which is crazy to wrap my brain around as it is a bit of an abstract concept. But this sentence is very important as the boobie has been all he has been able to have much of since he has been sick.

Benjamin woke up Saturday morning with a high fever and it just got higher through the day, reaching over 104 degrees. Even with alternating Motrin and Tylenol every three hours it was still around 103. But today he is better. But catching up on some much needed sleep. He actually slept 4 CONSECUTIVE hours this afternoon, waking up only because I roused him by trying to change his pee-soaked diaper and outfit. I needed the rest, too. I have missed laying down with him while he naps. Naps do us all a world of good. I'm pretty sure naps can save the world. We should have a Nap Movement. I think that's the answer to world peace. Rest makes us all feel better. And so do boobies.
