Bennett is talking more and more everyday. If he doesn't talk, then he communicates he understands everything you say by following your instructions or shaking his head no. He is even speaking in phrases more proficiently, but I am probably the only one who can interpret them--for the most part. Today, he brought me a picture of his cousin, Andrew, and he said, "Dandew". He also brought me Paul's business card with a photo of the Pack Man truck on it, and he said, "Big tuck". It seems like his ability to repeat almost anything we say has really emerged in the last day or two. It's quite exciting, and we need a little excitement with all of the viruses we have been dealing with!
Speaking of that, Anderson has slept all day long, maintaining a fever and acting a little delirious, but he is going to be fine. He has managed to keep food down for most of the day, so that is an answered prayer. We're on the mend, just not out of the woods yet. He woke up long enough to ask, "When is God going to heal me?" Poor guy. Of course, it is no surprise that Anderson has slept the entire day away as he has always been an excellent sleeper. He has been going to bed no earlier than 11 pm during his break, and he sleeps until at least 11 am the following day. If all children slept like Anderson, there would be far more well-rested parents in the world.

Still waiting on his to say "La La" when he sees me...like his brother did :-) How I wish Anderson still called me that. I need to get a name like Nannie that will stick even when the boys grow up :-)
Well, we could always try "Lular" or "Lucy May" or "Lou Lou"...
What do you think? They stuck for 18 years at least, and I think Jon Walters still calls you "Lular"!
And don't feel bad...I've never had a nickname. My name was pronounced "Hawie" by Jackson, "HaHe" by Andrew who now calls me "Hoddy", but probably behind my back they both call me "that mean old aunt". :)
