Oh How They Talk..

My daughter is fourteen months old now. I wouldn't say that the last one year flew by, because it did NOT. As rewarding motherhood is, I believe it requires a lot of patience. Patience for all the sleepless nights. Patience for when your kid vomits on you. And, above all, patience for all the unsolicited parenting advice and criticism. It turns out everyone (but you) is an expert on your child's needs and development. 

But, I digress. The purpose of this blogpost is to document all the words my little multilingual bundle of joy has already mastered.

The dead they sleep a long, long sleep; 
 The dead they rest, and their rest is deep; 
The dead have peace, but the living weep.

 By Samuel Hoffenstein

 RIP, Dada. Your memories will always remain with me.
