Conversations with Tesshin

I can't believe we were once worried that Tesshin couldn't hear. Along with that, came the fear that he would have delayed speech or no speech at all. Nowadays, we can't get him to be quiet. After Tessho went back to school, I've taken on thh duty of taking him to daycare and picking him up. We have great conversations in the car. Here's a sample of what we talked about yesterday:

On the way to daycare:
Me (M) - Are you ready to go to Maggie's house?
Tesshin (T) - No
M - But you're going to see all of your friends
T - See friends
M - That's right. Who's your buddy?
T - Mommy buddy

At the daycare (end of the day):
T - MOMMY!!!
M - Hi buddy.
T - Bye Maggie...thank you. Mommy...project.
M - Oh, you have a project outside?
T - Yes, heart
M - Oh it's a heart and a key. Do I hold the key to your heart?
T - Yes.
M - Thank you Tesshin
T - You're welcome Mommy

On the way home:
T - Go home (I couldn't tell if that was a statement or question)
M - Yes, we're going home now and we'll see Daddy
T - Daddy buddy
M - Is Daddy your buddy?
T - Yes. BAPES!!!! (Bapes = Grapes) SNACK!!! DADDY!!!
M - Do you want Daddy to get you a snack? Some grapes?
T - YES!!!
M - Ok, but you don't have to shout.
T - Sorry...sorry mommy.
M - That's ok.
T - Love you mommy.
M - Love you too Tesshin
