Hi Daddy, It’s Me!

My little girl keeps amazing me. She’s only started speaking in phrases in the past couple of months – up until then it’s been 2-3 words strung together.

So imagine my surprise when I phoned home one evening to have her grab the phone and excitedly say, “Hi Daddy! It’s me!” and then go on and on for a couple of minutes telling me in her own little language what she’d done that day. I caught a few words like “pate a modeler” (playdough) and “Cynthia” (the lady who runs a Kindermusik class she goes to), but for the most part I hadn’t a clue what she was telling me.

Then she said, “okay, bye-bye!” and handed the phone to a laughing Becoming-A-Mom. We both were amused and surprised by this little burst of conversation. Signs of things to come!
