Sunshine was a bit delayed
with her speech. Her poor little ears were filled with goop until she had her
surgery to remove her tonsils and adenoids, and drain her ears and insert ear
tubes. That was done a month after her second birthday. Immediately she could
hear so much better, and her speech took off. I’m just loving our
conversations. Her enthusiasm, peeking into her thought process, watching her
sense of humor develop, the give and take, it’s awesome.
As I’ve posted recently, I
haven’t been feeling great lately, but I savor our increasingly nuanced
conversations. They are wonderful perfect moments.
Last week as I pushed her in
her stroller after leaving daycare, I asked if she wanted a banana.
“You have one?” she asked.
I stopped pushing the
stroller and walked around to face her. “Would I ask you if you wanted one if I
didn’t have one?”
“You have it in you bag?”
"Yes."
“You rock, Mama!”
And speaking of her sense of
humor, I tried to get her to sing happy birthday to her cousin, and this is
what I got. Cheeky girl!
