You Say "Tomato." I say "Gross. I'd Prefer A Snickers Bar."

Adam has been trying to speak for a while now, but he hasn't seemed totally committed to it. He's been more successful in learning how to beat the hell out of Sliver and crush all objects in his path.

That's my boy!!

But he seems to be taking more of an interest in the talking thing lately. Unfortunately, he's not exactly speaking the Queen's English yet. He's improving, but he tends to drop syllables here and there and change some words a bit - stairs are "airs," hair is "air," ear is "air," lamps are "aaaiiihhh," milk is "aaaiiihhh," water is "aaaiiihhh." Uh oh is "uh oh."

On the down side, he can be a little tough to understand. But on the bright side, he'll be appearing as a Cockney chimney sweep in a local production of "Mary Poppins." The show runs through May.

Oh, the good old days. I became really good at understanding gibberish and even could interpret for some parents who didn't even know what their kids wanted. Just imagine your at the dentist and suddenly everything will make sense. Adam is just like most of us "Jones'" we prefer to walk and then talk. Miss you all Jen and family.
