Like a bubble that has been trapped beneath the cool water Alex words race from his mouth in a smooth rolling melody.  "Were going on a trip, were going on a trip, were going on a trip..."

Alex eyes dance playfully with joy as he searches across the bathroom door into the room for my eyes and my smile.  I repeat back to him, "Were going on a trip, were going on a trip, were going on a trip to the?",  a brief silence can be heard.  The sound of water slapping against the side of the bathtub.  Then...

"STORE" Alex says.  It comes like a bright bell sounding in the early morning of a quite town. 

The game continues as I prompt "to get?"

An even longer quite ensues, then quietly like a he's not quite sure of than answer he whispers "StraaaawbeeerriiEEes", with a sly smile he looks up at my eyes and sings, "Were going on a trip, were going on a trip, were going on a trip..."

This is our new nightly game.  It will go on for 30 to 45 minutes.

This is a new skill - Conversational turns (or loops)

Alex is trying to master the next level of conversation and being the perfectionist that he is....Were going on a trip! Every Night! :-)
