As you all know, Benji's first word and favorite animal is "duck" but I think the yellow bird now has some competition. Two weeks ago I wrote about Benji's first instance of the word "dog" when he heard a bark and his interest in dogs has continued to grow. Last Sunday we were at the park and he heard barking and I caught the response on video. Admittedly it's missing the end consonant, but the meaning is unmistakable.
Why he's so excited by dogs I have no idea, especially since we don't have a dog. But he loves hearing the neighbors' dogs bark, he likes his stuffed dog (he used to call it "hahahaha", like a dog panting, but has now moved on to "daw"), and he runs after dogs at the park or the outdoor mall that allows dogs. So, we shall try to expose him to his second favorite animal but we are not getting a pet dog.
As a side note, he also calls the car a "daw" when he hears it honk. If you use the remote keyless entry to make the car honk he'll run towards it saying "daw!" Apparently Daddy uses this tactic to get him to the car after playing for a few minutes in the front yard. We need to work on this word a bit more.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
