Verbal Asher

While Simi accomplishes his literary skills, Asher is accomplishing his own communication skills. Asher is learning to talk. He is also very proud to show anyone (well, not just ANYONE, it has to be someone he KNOWS and TRUSTS) his eyes, ears, nose (while he sticks his finger IN his nose), mouth (which he lovingly refers to as his "mouff"), and then he lifts his shirt and says, "belly" (or a word that resembles that word). The last item is said while he sticks his finger in his bellybutton and with a very proud smile on his face. If encouraged, Asher will also point down to his feet and proudly say, "toe".

Today he began saying words that have "s" in them. My guess is the day he begins saying, "Simi" is very close.
