We now have two sweet little sixteen month olds. It’s almost too much to believe. Each has their own distinctive personalities, preferences and talents. Those around them most all agree that they are very smart and understand an ever increasing number of words. They have learned that some behavior is rewarded with a positive reaction from adults in the form of hugs, laughter and praise, while other behavior provokes a negative reaction that may result in a timeout. They are mastering basic social interactions like waving, smiling and peek-a-boo, and they are beginning to return affection by hugging and kissing. They can follow simple instructions like “bring me the ball”, if they’re in the mood. Both boys point to what they want and smile if you get it for them. Both have climbed the staircase and run short distances. It’s going to be a fun summer.
