Breakfast with Parker.

First thing in the morning...I go and get her out of her crib...change her...tell her what she's going to eat...she tells me "Ah-mamamama" (which I guess is her form of "yes!") or "No!" (shaking her head and the whole bit).

This morning- we had a winner. Strawberries and waffles. Winner for her: she likes it. Winner for me: NOT messy like oatmeal or cereal.

So after I make her breakfast and sit her in her booster seat....she begins to eat. And every morning while she is eating.... we have a conversation. It kind of goes like this.

PARKER: Dad-dah!?
ME: Daddy's night-night.
PARKER: Lolla? (with her arms held up like "where is she?")
ME: Where is Lola?
PARKER: (pointing to the living room) "Ehr-she-is!" (then she smiles and may even clap).
ME: That's right! There she is!
PARKER: Muh. (pointing at her cup)
ME: That's right...that is your milk.
PARKER: Hat! Dad-dah's! (pointing at Geoff's hat she sees sitting on the bar).
ME: That is Daddy's hat.

ME: Eat your strawberries. Can you say strawberry?
PARKER: Pease. (aka "please")
ME: Good trying!

PARKER: Dad-dah!
ME: Where is Daddy?
PARKER: Wor? (aka "work")
ME: No...Daddy's night-night.
PARKER: (not speaking, but merely moving her mouth to the words and holding her pointer finger over her mouth ) Nigh-nigh. Shhhhhh.

PARKER: Auuh-nun! (aka "all done!")
ME: No...you're not all done. You still have to eat your strawberries and finish your waffle.
(she continues eating)

PARKER: Lolla? (with her arms held up like "where is she?")
ME: Where is Lola?
PARKER: (pointing to the living room) "Ehr-she-is!" (then she smiles and may even clap).
ME: That's right! There she is!

PARKER: Auuh-nun! (aka "all done!")
ME: No...you're not all done. You still have to eat your strawberries and finish your waffle.
(she continues eating)

PARKER: (bouncing her head) "Side!" (aka "outside")
ME: You want to go outside when you are done eating?
PARKER: "Ah-mamamama" (aka "yes")
ME: Ok- we can go outside in a minute.
PARKER: Shoos. (pointing to her feet)
ME: That's right...we will have to put our shoes on before we go outside.

PARKER: Lu-uv. (pointing to her Lovey laying on the floor in the kitchen)
ME: We'll get lovey after you are finished eating.
PARKER: Side!
ME: We'll go outside in a minute.
PARKER: Wet!?
ME: (I chuckle) We'll try not to get wet this morning. (FYI...she did get wet this morning)

So you catch my drift! As I was robotically answering and responding to all of her questions/statements this morning...I realized...this is what we do every morning...with some variations as her vocabulary grows. And I thought (surprising, I know)...I need to write this down!!

It really is the cutest thing ever. Her vocabulary is very good for her age and she's just going to get even fuller and richer. I think it's so sweet!
