I was going to write a hard-hitting, deeply theoretical blog entry tonight, until I realized that my brain is shot and coherent thoughts are not to be found.  But since it's been a week since I blogged, I decided to share this.

Yesterday I had an actual conversation with Alexander and I found it very exciting.  It probably won't sound like much, but whatever.  At this point, I take what I can get from them.

I was lying on the sofa, drained from a week of dance rehearsals and other things, and he came into the room.  I waved to him and he waved back and said, "Hi, Mama!"  Then he turned around to leave the room (not sure why he came in to begin with) and I laughed.  He turned around and said, "What?!" just like the older children would have.  And I answered, "You just looked so cute when you waved and said, 'Hi, Mama'!"  He laughed too and then went back to playing in the other room.

I have a dream that someday soon we will be having MANY conversations that are just as sweet (and involve more words on his part!).

Gute Nacht!
