Something strange

is afoot.  Oscar has spent the past two days jabbering away and even pointing.  He’s like a different child.  I mean, it’s not like he’s actually saying any words (at least not in a language I recognize), but it’s clear to me that he’s trying to say something.  He’s even mimicking me to an extent.  He’s gone from being practically mute for a little over two months to being as vocal as the other little kids I’ve been around.  Have any of you with internationally adopted kids gone through a “quiet period” with your kid(s)?  I’m terrified that this newfound attempt at communication is going to be a phase.  It’s not a phase, right?  It’s my greatest hope that I’m going to look back at this quiet period longingly and fondly remember the peace and quiet.
