I have to put this in...as a testament to how much Talan really understands and to embarass my future teenage son who may be reading this someday ;)...
A few days back, Talan had a raging diaper rash...it was pretty bad. It was so bad that he cried, no make that screamed, when you put the diaper rash cream on. John let him go bare for a bit to try to help the rash clear up sooner and a naked Talan ran into the kitchen (yes, it has linoleum floors). Talan came back out of the kitchen (I am unclear on how long he was out of Johns sight or what gave John the urge to ask) but John asked Talan if he *ahem*, "went potty" on the floor. When he got a grin that told him yes, he asked Talan to show him where. Talan took him right to where he had done his business (#1 only if you're wondering) and proudly pointed at it. It was hard not to be proud of how intelligent Talan is when John told me this story...I will really have to remember just how much Talan understands, even if he isn't saying much.
