body language

I could hear Audrey awake in her room, so I opened the door and gave her my usual greeting,"Well, hello! How was your nap?"

I heard a little toot.

"Uh-oh!" I laughed, then, in my ongoing effort to help her expand her small vocabulary, asked her, "Can you say 'toot'?" She was holding onto the railing, and concentrating. I heard it again: Toot.

Was this really her reply? Hilarious. I asked her again, "Can you say, 'toot'?" She smiled.

Toot.

I laughed. She laughed.

I tried to clarify, "Can you use your words to say 'toot'?"

Toot.

We laughed together.

I love this (mostly) quiet little girl.
