if we can get it together. It's chillier this morning and it's rainy and overcast.. and Californians are bad drivers who cannot figure out how to drive in the rain after all these years, so I am always loathe to get on a highway but this is all beside the point...
Jake said "Trick or Treat".
Jake SAID "TRICK OR TREAT"!
His bus driver told me that he said it on the bus yesterday afternoon. His teacher was talking with all of the kids as they were being pinned down. buckled in.
She asked the kids "Who's going to say Trick or Treat?" and they were answering, and Jake at the front of the bus said "I say trick or treat."
and from the back of the bus his driver, who speaks English as a second language, said "Jake! I heard you say trick or treat." and ran up and hugged him.
She told me all about it when they arrived in front of our house, and I mostly believed her, and wanted to encourage Jake so I asked him if he had said it... and he smiled and giggled!
then
this morning I asked him, when it was just the two of us lounging on my bed, "When we go out to night to get candy, what do you say?"
and he said "trick or treat" and he smiled.

appropriate language, answering a question, responding to a general query put out to a group,
timely responses
what's happening? is he talking more often? will there be more?
hope is such a painful wonderful emotion.
