Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Yesterday we visited our grandson and took him on two long strolls.  His house is being painted and his father was dealing with the painters.  We had many a conversation with him.  His intonation and delivery are perfect; and you feel you can almost but not quite catch the words.  He's intense about it.  He clearly is telling us something, but what?  I look forward to his gathering more words in his arsenal and my understanding him better.  He has up and down pat, open and close and balloon and ball and cat and dog and mama and daddy.  And he can repeat many more words after us.  I believe the important thing right now is our listening.  Taking him seriously, and giving him an opportunity to practice communication.  We're open ears, and his perfect audience.
