Moments of Brilliance

Recently, I (Ben) have been looking through Rachel's family picture book with her and explaining all of the characters in our family. This morning, Rachel pointed at her Uncle Joel and said "Ucle". I looked at her with amazement, and said, "That's right...that's Uncle Joel".

However, before Joel starts getting a big head, about 15 seconds later she pointed at a picture of a dog on her puzzle and said "Ucle". As her proud father, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and said, "That's right...Uncle Joel has a doggie". But then, another 15 seconds went by and she pointed to a picture of me and said "Ucle". That's when I said, "Ummm...not really." Oh well...we'll keep working:-)

Actually, what she was really saying was, "Umm, where is Aunt Kelly?" It just came out as..."UU..Kel". Lots of love

Your responses are the reason that I underlined "characters" in the family. You both get an A+ for creativity.

Actually, it will be easier for her to say NANNA. Does she have her Nanna's picture? I will send one:-)

I can tell that our next trip home should be fun.....everyone will try to get her to say their name. Of course, every syllable that she utters will be loosely translated:)
