in conversation

both bee and henny have been amazing me with their individually outstanding conversational skills. henny is a big copycat and is thrilled to have so many new words to share. and bee, she is just so amazing. sometimes i really forget that i'm talking to a four year old. she has so much language and wisdom.

each of them has wowed me in their own way recently, with two very different little conversations. 

from bee:

while walking up to the library...

"mommy, what is this all about with crossing your fingers?"

"oh, some people think that they will get their wish or have good luck if they cross their fingers."

"well, i don't know about that. i mean, how do fingers know what you want. you can't talk to fingers. they don't even have brains!"

and from henny:

after D had a very exhausting day, i got henny up from his crib in the morning to let D sleep a bit.

"see daddy. see daddy" (said insistently)

"henny, daddy is going to sleep a little more because he worked so hard yesterday."

"yeah. daddy. workin'. fun. tools."
