I remember

For the first time last week Henry told us about an event he remembered happening. Of course we know he has memory and an ability to recall things he has done. He shows off his memory all the time by continuing to use words he has learned or going back to an activity that he enjoyed in the past. This however was the first time he verbally expressed about an event that he had participated in in the past.

He climbed into bed to wake up Daniel the other morning and told him all about Gdada, Meme, ball, pool, no. From these words and the way he repeated them in certain orders Daniel was able to figure out what he was talking about. He was telling Daniel about going to the pool in Atlanta with my parents where he would throw the ball between pools, but could not go in the hot tub. Of course Daniel had to know about the event to put it together, but it was still lots of fun to see that he is beginning to be able to tell us about things that happened in the past.

Update:
I have to add, the word ball was often followed with Henry making the throwing motion with his arm.
