Grahamism of the Day

In a matter of weeks, my baby went from soft-spoken babbler to Sir Won't-Shut-Up.  He is constantly talking to me in full sentences and is, himself, reveling in his budding vocabulary.

So why is it that when I want him to talk-- when I'm encouraging it-- all I get are one-word answers?

"Good morning, Graham!  Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah."

"Did you dream about me?"

"Yeah."

"Are you ready to get up?"

"Yeah."

"Should we get dressed and have some breakfast?"

"Yeah."

"Do you really like that word?"

"Yeah."

"Can you say anything else?"

"Yeah."

"You know that I love you, right?"

"Yeah."

"Do you love me?"

"No."

 "That hurts my feelings because I love you!  Do you think that was a nice thing to say?" 

"Yeah." 

And another one bites the dust.
