That cat

She was crying, so I upside-downed her,
And dangled her over the cat,
And, safely distracted, she giggled,
And clearly and loudly said "Cat."

I thought it must be a mishearing -
Pride of a mother gone mad,
But she said it again while she chased it
And again while I talked to her Dad.

The C-sound is a little unwieldy,
But the meaning is def'nitely there,
Because she only says it in context -
My legs wobble. I need a chair.

How cool :) Yay! Andy's first word was aeroplane. No idea what mine was & I have forgotten what Kate's was. Possibly dada as that was one of her firsts.

Sentences will come soon ... then you'll never be able to get a word in edgewise. (-;

So, not long till she's writing her own entries here, then. Are you going to encourage her to speak only in verse?

"encourage her to speak only in verse..."

Not that much older than her teeth...

she's closer now to being 100% older than her teeth, than she will ever be again, i think :-)

Whee! That's fantastic!

I look forward to conversing with her this summer :-)
