Did I say that it's quiet around here now that the boys are back in school? Yeah, that didn't last long. Baby Sister is celebrating her newfound words, um, enthusiastiacally.

"Duck!" she says, holding out her rubber ducky. "Duck! Duck! Duck! DUUUCK!!!"
"Yes, Baby Sister, that's a duck."
She spots a stuffed animal (any stuffed animal). "Baby! Baby baby BAAAY-BEEEE!!"

Some words invariably come out as questions.
"Ma-ma? Ma-ma?"
"What is it, Baby Sister?"
"DUUUUCK!!"

I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining; kids at her age are hilarious. We have a lot of fun all day, and I don't even think she notices the earplugs. :)
