DRAGONFLY

While at the kiddie pool

Eamonn: Dragonfly. Dragonfly. Look a dragonfly.
Me: (on other side of kiddie pool) yeah buddy, a dragonfly.
Eamonn: Dragonfly.
Me: (walking over to see what he's looking at) Eamonn,that's a bee. Not a dragonfly.
Eamonn: nice bee.
Me: don't touch the bee.
Eamonn: (looking at another bee) look a butterfly. Butterfly. Butterfly.

Me: ok buddy

SORRY!

Eamonn: say sorry
Me: say sorry
Eamonn: sorry (apologetic voice) yay! I sorry! (claps hands)


He does this when he knows he should say sorry, but he's prompting us to tell him to say sorry.  It's pretty stinking adorable.  It's also part of his echolalia.  he will repeat "say sorry" repeatedly if I don't respond right away.

He thinks everything he does deserves a round of applause...
