While he missed Nosisa and Desmond (we are keeping in touch with both of them), he seems to love his teachers and has made friends with his new classmates. He is a social kiddo, so the many opportunities for social engagement are exciting and occasionally exhausting. The temptation to bite seems to be waning, which may be related to his growing vocabulary. In general he will talk up a storm with anyone who will listen. His words are becoming intelligible even to people who don't hear him all the time. Good stuff!\r\n\r\n<span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 20px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Show slideshow] We&#8217;re a few weeks past Sylvan&#8217;s second birthday &#8211; two years old seems to suit him very well so far!
