Keira Speaks

Currently on PBS there is a cartoon called,

Martha Speaks.

It's about a talking dog who ate

some alphabet soup.

The letters went to her brain instead

of the stomach

and now she can speak.

If only it was that easy!!??

I would love for Keira to speak.

   

But instead, she finds it easier to

point, grunt, whine, cry

and then shake her head

 yes/no.

Here's an example:

I'm at the computer and Keira comes up,

grabs and pulls on my leg.

Then points to where she wants me to go.

If I stand up she'll start walking toward

what she wants, leading me.

But looking back to make sure

that I'm following and don't get

distracted.

Until she stops at her high chair.

Can you guess why she wants to

sit in her high chair?

"Please Mommy,

put me in here!"

Yep, it's snack time.

I think the bib is rather appropriate.

Since she won't say it,

she can wear it instead!!
