Birthday Benchmark Photo – 23 months


At each benchmark we analyze where the boys are in their development and what progress has been made recently. Last month we talked about how many words they knew, and this month what strikes me is how they are using the words to communicate and direct us. They identify now when we are moving from inside or outside, and recognize when we are going upstairs or downstairs. They ask for their blanket and stuffed animals by name. They request the TV to be turned on, lobby for the Disney Channel, cheer when it is selected and jeer when it is not. They ask to take baths, solicit massages and then rate our outfit selections. Who knows when they first developed opinions and preferences, but it is obvious they are now expressing them.
