As many of you know, Jenna was very delayed in her speech and language development... at 18 months she only spoke three words: Mama, No, and yum (for food). Now, 10 months later, this is what she told us at dinner tonight:
"Hear my story... Once upon a time, a little tiny baby fell down and her bumped her head like this (thumps own head) and says "Waaa!""
I asked her, "Did her mommy help make her feel better?"
"Yes... her mommy said, "Oh, baby, it's okay" and gave her kisses. That's all done! Your turn, Mom!"
Amazing!!
Interestingly enough, Michaela still says to us, "Hear this!" (with the emphasis on the 'this') when she wants us to listen to her. She has said it to us for years and even though she probably knows to say, "Listen to this!" it is a phrase that has stuck with her. When Jenna started tonight with "Hear my story" it reminded me of this phrasing of Michaela's.

LOVED the story-I can just HEAR her saying this AND the "Listen to my story." By the way, Pop Pop said Jenna was NOT delayed at 18 months-what a PROUD grandpop-don't EVER say ANYTHING about his grandbabies even if it IS true! Love, Mommy and Daddy
