Dylan and Emma continue to improve with their language skills. Emma can say complete sentences with all parts of speech. She used to leave out the prepositions but she is including some of them now as well. Dylan doesn’t use any prepositions but his vocabulary is now also vast and he can get most words out. Sometimes they don’t quite say the words correctly and it takes a couple of attempts to understand what they are saying but in general they are talking very well. The difference between now and their Birthday when they turned two is astounding.
Last weekend we went on the newly opened Gautrain between Rosebank and Hatfield. The week before Emma and Dylan and I had been to the Rosebank station to see what it looked like. We had a couple of minutes before the train departed so there was enough time for a picture or two and then we climbed in. Emma and Dylan made good use of the inside of the train as their personal jungle gym while waiting for the train to depart. When it set off Dylan was very excited as was Emma, but then Dylan got scared and started to cry. I think it might have been because the train goes underground, so when it pulls out of the station it is dark. By the time we had pulled into the Sandton station which is also underground he had gotten the hang of it and was smiling again. The rest of the way was enjoyed by all. At Hatfield we got off. The station was really full of people buying their tickets. We walked together with the whole train load of joy riders to the Hatfield shopping centre and eventually on to the News Cafe for some lunch. They could not cope with the new source of customers all being shipped in by the train but we did eventually get fed. Then it was back on the train all the way to Rosebank. We all had a thoroughly good time. The train ride was excellent.
Emma and Dylan turned 27 months on the day before yesterday. They are growing big so quickly now.
