October 2015:
> Yesterday when I picked him up he was suddenly using the first person pronoun to refer to himself. Has never happened before, and he did it consistently the whole evening.

> Today he is mostly doing it, but occasionally using his name instead, as he used to for the first 1060 days of his life (minus about the first half of those days when he didn't speak much about himself at all).

> Watching a mind develop in real time is so awesome.The language development was a unique experience, but watching a person grow is still awesome to this day.

It's really cool that we can discuss memes and movies, negotiate, reflect on life and agree and disagree on things now.
