She Can TALK
Nora’s been talking for some time now, adding words here and there, and now I can’t even remember when she could only say just a few words. But it’s always exciting when your baby starts putting words together. A few days ago, Nora was helping me unload the dishwasher. As she pulled out each colored plate and cup, she would say “Das MayMee’s” (That’s Mary’s) or “Das SeeSee’s” (That’s Elise’s) or “Das NorNa’s” (I think you get it now!). And she was right every time. She has noticed what color each of her sisters prefers and she knew that Mary usually has pink or red, Elise purple or blue, and Nora green or orange. My little genius!
But today’s little “sentence” was really exciting. We had gone to the doctor and stopped at Sonic for slushies, to kill time while we waited for our prescription to be filled, which wasn’t even ready anyway when we got there, which angered me a little. Anyhoo, we get our slushies at Sonic and as you know, they put a peppermint on top of the lid of each cup. So I set the cups in the cupholders and made my way to Rite-Aid (where, did I mention this already, my prescription was NOT waiting for me). As we were driving, Nora starts calling my name. “Mommy, Mommy, Maaahhh-my, Mom, Ma, Maaaaa!” “Yes, Nora?” Then she says (and I am going to just write what I heard rather than try to spell what she actually said), “There’s candy cane on cup!” I am telling you, that was awesome. My baby can TALK!
