I woke up Wednesday morning at 5:30 am in a tent to Ruby's joyful and surprised exclamation, "Bids sing, Mom! Bids sing songs!" You must understand that those weeks when your child begins to really grasp language are some of the most delightful and entertaining you will ever experience. My littlest jewel is expressing in language the thoughts that have been forming over the past two years...and I am loving getting to know her in this sweet new way! Not only has she informed me on the bird's morning songs, but she has also learned to ask for coc-lac milp, pop-icles, and has warned me in song to "wats out" for "pireman." I am, of course, always diligent to watch out for Spiderman. She is so wise.
