Our Casa Lennon is your Casa

Sophia is becoming more vocal about what she wants. She has a pretty decent vocabulary for an 18 month old. She can say “please” (and sign it), “thank you” (and sign it), “apple”,  ”daddy”, “mommy”, and, well, you get the idea. What she has not mastered quite yet is putting words together to express a coherent thought. For example, “Mommy, apple, please”.  Though we sometimes get “apple” while she signs “please”.

Tonight, she wanted some crackers. Daddy Dave encouraged her to say “More crackers, please.” While saying this, I’m signing “more” and “please”. Sophia takes it all in, and lets me repeat about 4 times. She tilts her head, I pause expectantly. Sophia exclaims in what sounds like perfect disbelief, “Cracka, pleeze!”

If you don’t know why I thought that was funny, read this.

Anyway, it cracked me up. Sorry, I know that is a terrible pun. So I then had to make her laugh. Check out the video below:

Working in the kitchen, Michele called me from the bedroom. When I turned the corner, I saw Michele on one side of the bed with Sophia in the middle. Upon seeing me, Sophia gave me a huge smile that warmed my heart. She then beat furiously on the pillow on her other side. I obeyed without hesitation and sat next to her. She then clapped enthusiastically and yelled, “Yay!”

I was totally uplifted, but she wasn’t done yet. She looked around, paused, and then yelled for Kitty. Michele went to get Kitty, and again, Sophia clapped and yelled, “yay!”

She is the coolest kid ever! (I gotta say that for the 2 months left when I can before her brother arrives. )
