In other news, I'm regularly surprised by the words that come out of Tess's mouth these days. She'll ask for things using words I've never heard her say before. After almost two years of figuring out her communication mysteries, it's a shock to hear an English word instead of some babbled clue hinting at a desire.
She still can't pronounce the [k] sound, so often it takes some imagination to figure it out. Like tonight when she was asking for what sounded like "nuts," but clearly wasn't. Turns out she wanted a necklace. (She's been asking for nuts very clearly for a while now, and sometimes even specifies that she wants almonds or cashews.)
