Sam is the master of grunting, whining, and pointing to get what he wants. His little mother, Erin, is very happy to oblige in his efforts not to use words. You can imagine our suprise as we all stood in the kitchen the other night and I asked Sam, "Do you want a fork or a spoon?"
Sam responded clearly in front of Mommy, Daddy, and Erin, "No, I do not want a fork."
With mouths agape the three of us all moved quickly to indulge his first, clear, and concise request.
