Guess what?
Today Julia wrote her very first word on the computer!
All by herself!
The bad news?
It was also her very first swear word!
That's right.
After leaving her side for a moment while her game loaded up, I returned to find her proudly pointing to the "name" she had typed into the sign-in page:
ASS
So the question is, was she commenting on her feelings towards having to wait for her mother to get around to finally signing her in?
Or am I seeing early evidence of an impending low-self-confidence-identity-crisis?
No honey, you're not an ass! You're a lovely, sweet, intelligent little girl!
And yes, perhaps I am a bit of an ass for making you wait, but, you know, that sort of commentary is really not allowed around here young lady. At least, not until you're old enough to publish your own mommy-dearest memoir.
Either way, I have to say, a word at age two? I'll take it! What, you think it was a coincidental random concoction from tapping toddler fingers? Sure, and next you'll be telling me that a room full of monkeys could write shakespear's works if given enough time. Pshaw
