WATER

This is a short, but monumental post! William finally said WATER! Yes, a silly word. But, William has referred to water as "cuppa" for a long time. Since he first started talking. It was one of his first words because I had always said to him, "Would you like a cup of water?" A cup of - he associated water with "a cup of" - hence "acuppa" or "cuppa." He knows exactly what water is, but always, always calls it cuppa. We've been trying to erase "cuppa" from his memory because it's been very cute, but it's time to say the right word. Tonight he asked Matt for a "cuppa" and Matt asked him what he wanted in his cup. William said: "water." WOW! So perhaps when we pass by a lake or it's raining outside, we will hear more of "water" instead of "cuppa." Funny how one day when you least expect it, you see that everything you have been repeating finally clicks. You're getting big, William. 

The wheels are turning
