You know, sometimes I think speaking can be over rated. There are definitely times where I wish I could communicate verbally with my son, like when he needs to go potty or when he gets frustrated and obviously wants help with something. Although I would love for communication to be a two-way street, Luke manages to get across his point pretty well without words. He has very expressive eyebrows. Ever since he was born, you could really tell when he is thinking hard about something. His eyebrows turn up and this forehead scrunches together. Like he is says “Hmmm….I wonder?” When he is surprised or impressed by something he raises his eyebrows as if to say “wow, what was that” or “that was cool”.
I find myself having conversations with him, while reading his facial expressions. I might say something and then he’ll respond by looking at me a certain way and then I say something out loud for him. I know many moms do this when their children are babies, but it seems to me like that stage may never end.
Despite that, it is amazing how Luke can communicate his sadness, surprise, curiosity and even his humor just by looking at me. I love the personality I see and pray he keeps it when he starts to form all those words that I know are floating around in that cute little head.
