While waiting for grandchild #2, grandchild #1 have spent a lot of time talking. Gradually I am learning her language. Some of what she says is very clear. She can say Ikea very clearly. She said Ikea so many times I told her she could do an advertisement for Ikea because her pronunciation is extra adorable. Another word she uses frequently is cozy. Cozy is a concept so I'm surprised she knows it so well and loves it so much. She says "Gamma?" frequently. I think she just wants to know if I am still here visiting but I can't get enough of that word. "Cue Me," (excuse me) is something she says after she toots. We left the house to go for a bike ride. She reminded me of her helmet six times before I comprehended the word helmet. My eyes widened when she went to the fridge and asked for a drink of latte' kefir. Who says latte' kefir? She does, that is who. We were going through her toys and I said, "Oh, alpaca!" She corrects me with "Llama." We were walking through Ikea and I heard her ask, "funnel?" We were walking past a display of funnels. I was so impressed she could say funnel that I told her, "Girl! You put the fun in funnel!" I ask her when the baby is coming. "Soon!" is her answer.
