It’s official… Kloey has said her first word!! Her first word (drum roll, please!) was DA-DA! Of course, right?! As an educator who has taken courses in child development, let me set the record straight and inform you all that a baby begins babbling and the sounds they make are RANDOM! Ha!! The /d/ and /a/ sounds are the easiest to make and just so happen to identify one parent… and not the one that sacrificed body, sleep, mind, emotions, and soul to be their parent!! I went back into my archive of posts and I found a similar post stating that Kayden had uttered the same first word at the same age! Great, both of my children are going to be talkers!! I actually love it though! Kayden and I took a walk today and the converstaions I can have with my two year old are not only comical, but they are pretty impressive. We were talking about cattails, flowers, pine cones, dog poop, and the cars parked along the street. Each of these topics presented questions and comments from my little peanut gallery! I know we are in for many years of talk, talk, talking!
