I don’t know why…
Declan’s language is coming along in leaps and bounds now that his other issues are under control. A few days ago, he named his stuffed monkey, “Monkey Paperwork.”
This week’s biggest new phrase is “I don’t know WHY?!” He says this very dramatically and completely out of the context of whatever else is going on.
Some examples:
“Declan, get off Mommy’s computer please.”
“I don’t know WHY?!”
“Declan, come and eat dinner.”
“I don’t know WHY?!”
“Declan, where are your shoes?”
“I don’t know WHY?!”
“Declan, why is your monkey called Monkey Paperwork?”
“Okay.”
The one time he won’t say “I don’t know why!” is when it would actually fit the question being asked.
Apparently, he really just doesn’t know why. Sometimes, I don’t know why, either.
LOL. Wasn’t he just placed on the spectrum? He sounds pretty perceptive to me. I can hardly think of a situation that couldn’t be aptly summed up with that phrase.
