After almost 3 years of idle comments and random conversations on our part, we are in the shocking position of finding that Emma says things that SOUND LIKE US! Who knew this could happen with a young child? All that time when she was looking at our mouths while we spoke...turns out she was actually listening to us! It's like we have have an influence on her development or something!
This morning's example? While we were listening to music, she said, "No, Mumma, I want different music. I don't want nap music. I want something with a beat."
(When I raised an eyebrow at her, she hastily added, "Please" - further evidence that we are not merely bleeting empty words into a vacuum.) Wow. Profound.
Disclaimer: This does not in any way suggest that everything out of Emma's mouth can be traced back to our influence. Absolutely not. Aliens also come down in the middle of the night and teach her all sorts of things that have nothing to do with us...
