Cagalli's Corner

Kalli and I were playing on the bed last night when I asked her if she wanted to read a book. She nodded her head and sat on the corner to wait for me to get one. Kalli loves her books and she remembers all of them. I usually make her choose which one she wants to read, and so last night I asked her again.

MOMMY: Kalli, what book do you want?
KALLI: ship ship (nodding her head quite vigorously)

I thought for a moment, what could she mean? Then I remembered her Brainy Baby Shapes and Colors book. She probably meant Shapes.

MOMMY: Oh, you want Shapes and Colors?
KALLI: mommy ship ship
MOMMY: Shapes? Shapes?
KALLI: ship ship
MOMMY: Yes baby, shapes
KALLI: No mommy no. Ship ship.
MOMMY: Boat? You want little mermaid? (thinking yaya might have told her about Prince Eric's ship)
KALLI: Mommy no. ship

I paused and looked at her.

KALLI (nodding her head like she's talking to a baby): ship ship mommy... baaah baaahhh

Hahaha! Well of course she meant sheep! Now why didn't I think of that??? Well, in my defense, she has never called the sheep "ship" before. She has always called it "baaaah" (just as she calls the cow "mooo"). But then she learns so many things everyday, I shouldn't have been surprised :)

So I took out her "Old McDonald" book and her "Brainy Baby Animals" book from the cabinet and showed it to her. She nodded her head happily and waited for me on the bed.

And then we started reading :)
