Talking babies


There are so many marvelous things about being a parent. One of my favorites is watching my kids learn to talk. Granted, all Dalton does right now is babble and giggle. But even those sounds are the precursor to words. You can hear when he is mad or frustrated or delighted with a toy through his little sounds. All too soon those sounds will turn into actual words. One of Dakota’s favorite words to say when she was learning to talk (other than no, mama and dada) was thank you. It was one of the cutest things I have ever heard. For awhile she would ask for something by saying thank you and pointing to what she wanted. This lead to statements like: thank you ball, thank you cookie, thank you sue so on and so on. She has since progressed to actual full sentences and uses the word please instead of thank you (some of the time) ***kids need me, I’ll try and continue more about the wonder of communication a little later***
