Last week:
Coconut: aah?
Me: What, honey?
Coconut: Aaht?
Me: Yeah, okay, aaht.
Coconut: pointedly turns head and looks at cat. AACT?
Me: Yes! Yes, ‘cat’. That’s our kitty cat.
Coconut: Aaht?
A few days later, in the garden:
Coconut: Aaht? Very excited voice.
Me: I look around for our cat. Cat? Where’s our kitty? I don’t know if she’s outside, Coco.
Coconut: Aaht! Stares at squirrel and squeals. Aaht?
Today, sat in the chair next to cat tower:
Snort: tiny little contemplative voice. Aaaaah?
Me: Yes, that’s the cat. See the cat?
Snort: at?
Me: Cat.
Snort: Cccccccccccccc……………………at?
Me: Yes, cat!
Snort: Cat.
Me: Cat!
Snort: Cat! Reaches out to try to pet the cat. Cat. Cat. Cat.
Me: You just said ‘cat’! You said ‘cat’.
Snort: Cat? Cat.

I think cat or kitty might be the most popular first word ever! They are so excited by these little things are similar in size to themselves and it is a relatively easy word. It’s so cute, isn’t it?

I can’t wait for my daughter to decide it is time to talk with me (she’s 2, bless her).

That is so cute!! I think Lily is trying to say Tandy (one of our cats) when she says Tee.

My (feline) crew appreciates your children’s obviously early grasp of the important things in life. Like, say, cats.
