Alex made me smile again tonight.....
I was talking to him in the kitchen and DH interrupted us(and sain something irrelevent to what alex and i were talking about!)
As DH walked away alex whispered
"Dad is always BUMPING INTO THE WORDS"
nOW....MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS IS THAT HE MEANS 'INTERUPTING'.....so very reluctantly i explained what he should say.... i say reluctantly ...as often i prefer these quirky little things the boys come up with.
now on the ASD track... THAT would 'fit' ...he is 6 in 3 weeks....and this phrase joins the host of others ...which seem to be increasing as he gets older...whereas 'normally' as a child's speech matures..then i'd think they'd stop .
also...have noticed alot recently that he will often check maybe 5 mins after something was said that 'we were joking' etc....example being that tomorrow we are going to the park 'as a family' and DH said that 'Mummy wants to go on the swings'......then 20 mins later when alex was getting in bed...he asked "dad was joking wasn't he?"...i asked what about.....and he said about the swings.....
(admittidly...it really is a JOKE me on the swings!!!)
but...my point is here that he often 'checks' back things he hears.
