Conversation with Abbey

Abbey's vocabulary is increasing every day and more and more she's putting words into sentences. It's so much fun to hear her talk. Today I had the following conversation with her on the way to work and thought I'd share:

Abbey: "What that, Mom?"
Sheri: "Um, I don't know Abbey, what is it?"
A: "What that, Mom?"
S: "I don't know Abbey. You'll have to tell Mom."
A: "Booger nose."
S: (Looking in the rear-view mirror I see a big booger on Abbey's finger.) "Yep, looks like you have a booger nose. Let me get you a wet wipe." (I hand her a wipe.)
A: "That goss, Mom."
S: "Yep, Abbey, you're right, that is gross."
A: "That goss, Mom. Abbey booger nose."
Pause.
A: "Baby on!" (This means she wants to listen to "I am a child of God" again. [It is the first song on the DVD I put together of pictures of her as a baby, hence "Baby".])
S: "How do you ask?"
A: "Pease."
Pause.
A: "What doin' Mom?"
S: "Driving to see the kids." (Kids, meaning daycare.)
A: "What doin' Mom?"
S: "Driving to see the kids Abbey."
A: "Ruby's house?"
S: "Yep."
A: "Aidan?..."
S: "Yep. Who else?"
She then lists off all the kids in daycare, including herself.
Pause.
A: "Baby on!"
S: "How do you ask?"
A: "Pease."
I rewind the CD.
Pause.
A: "Where water go?" (Meaning the river.)
S: "It's behind the trees."
A: "Water go down dain?"
S: "Something like that."
Thinking.
A: "Where water go?"
S: "You can't see it anymore because it's behind the trees."
Long pause...
A: "Booger nose goss Mom."
S: "Yep, it is gross. Use a wipe."
A: "What doin' Mom?"

It goes on like this for the next 20 minutes. It's cute but sometimes a little maddening. Gotta love her!

It's funny that when they are babies you can't wait to hear them talk and to know what the sound like. Then we they do start talking you sometimes wish they would be quite for ONE minute! Abbey has such a darling voice. And she is such a smart girl!
