First Words..

hailyns start of speech therapy has really got me thinking... this girl, this little toddler, is one tough chickie. shes tough and sassy and silly.. i cant help but wonder whats going on in that noggin of hers! right now, in fact, shes in a very deep, involved conversation with the dog. whats she thinking when shes throwing herself on the floor in protest? whats she "saying" when shes tilting her head and smiling at daddy trying to steal his snack? how about when shes crossing her arms and puffing out breaths, studying something intently?? speak to me little love!! two years of silence! she said mama, dada, nana,& eddie at her 1st bday, but then silence. well.... thats not true. this house is NEVER EVER silence. it is chock full of in coherent babbles, cries, and screams of frustration on her part. will her new first word be mommy again? i can only hope! maybe "phenix" for her little brother... or maybe the plight of a marine for a father will prove my fears and her first words will be "fuck" or "bullshit" or "fucking afghanis" (hes a two time veteran, give him a break..) *shudder* or will she really make my heart swell and say.. could it even happen? "PLEASE" im excited to find out. though for now she'll communicate with pictures, i know my sassy molassy will find her voice soon and we'll finally get a peek into that head of hers! and you'll be the first to know..^_^
