Conversations With No One

That's right folks, we're there: The esteemed conversations with no one. If you have kids, you know what I'm talking about but for those without child allow me to enlighten you. V walks around the house and talks to anyone that will listen: The dog, the cat, curtains, couches, bananas, anything she comes in contact with on a daily basis. We've noticed that she is REALLY trying sometimes to communicate but we are unable (at this time) to discern what she's actually saying. First time you listen, it sounds like it's an old South American dialect but if you're using your mutant powers you'll notice that it's actually more of a Mayan or Incan origin. Naturally, you've got to have a keen ear and excellent typing skills to come up with something like this.

We're enjoying it though, because we get to translate what she says to each other. It usually ends up with April translating something like "I want MOMMY to hold me!" and I end up translating it to "I want MOMMY to change me!" We both grew up in different states so our translations can get confused from time to time. She's growing up like crazy now which gives us the opportunity to have great laughs at her expense. Falling down and causing self inflicted pain are just a couple of the many things that make this awkward toddler stage fun. Makes us look forward to the teenage years. Here are some pictures to prove that we haven't stopped taking pictures of our child:

V: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Yes we endangered our child's life here. No safety net! Good job V!

We told V how much money college was going to cost and we got this look.

 

Then we told her to practice begging for college money and we got this.

 

Us: Vivian, do your impression of a toddler teething... Uh... OK quit that...

Now that's a picture!
