Daily Conversations

Here is what 90% of my "conversations" with Leah consist of throughout the day:

Leah (upon seeing anything that remotely resembles an animal): "DOG!!!!!!!!!"

Me: "No Leah, that's not a dog, it's a car. Can you say car?"

Leah: "DOG!!!!!! DOG!!!!!!!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF!!!!!! DOG!!!!!!!!"

Me: "Leah, that's a car, not a dog. Can you say Car?" C-C-C- car...."

Leah: "DOG!!!!!!!!"

Me: (I take a deep breath and realize that my identity does not lie in how many objects my child recognizes, and how many words she can say correctly)

"that's right Leah, doggies go woof woof."

Leah (huge smile on her face): "DOG!!!!!!!!!!!"
