That's Entertainment!

Nicholas can talk for hours. I have no idea what he's saying, not because his words aren't clear, but because usually I only realize twenty minutes into a description of something that he's still talking, and my mind has wandered on to other things.

Nicholas was talking early, using simple words but speaking them in what seemed to be a clear manner. Nathan, on the other hand, speaks in sentences. The frustrating thing for everyone is that he can't be understood.

The other day in the bathtub Nathan looked up at the ceiling and said something three times. Something like "Disappear, disappear, disappear." Or maybe it was "Look up there! Look up there! Look up there!" Or, upon reflection, it could have been something about a beer. He spoke the words very solemnly, and then glanced at me sideways without moving his head, and then smiled as though he had told a very funny joke. I couldn't help but laugh, and Nicholas laughed, and then Nathan proceeded to do it 47 more times.

Yesterday Nate walked up to me and tried to play catch. Each time, before he threw the ball he would chant something. Then he would throw the ball. Nicholas ended up playing with him. He would run after the ball, pick it up, chant his own thing, and throw it. It wasn't really like a game of Catch. It was more like a game of Fetch! Only with taking turns and chanting, and occasional wrestling.
