Conversations



Addie and Me:

Me: "Addie, can Mama have a bite?"
Addie: "Mine"
Me: "Please can Mama have a bite?"
Addie: "No"
Then she gives me a bite.

Matt and Max*:

Matt: "Max, can I have a bite?"
Max: "Yes."
Matt leans in to take a bite.

Max pulls it away and yells, "PSYCH!"


(* This Max, age 19 months, lives in Seattle and wants to be a trumpet for Halloween.)

"Mine" and "No", how fast they learn. I presume you are teaching her the next two words "Yours" and "Yes". We'll have a test at Christmas!

I get the feeling that, presented with a trumpet costume, he would say "PSYCH!"

I love Addie's response. She is a tease with a heart of gold. When she was starting to walk, she would look at me as I held my arms out for her to walk to me, and she would grin and then head to Mama or Papa. Within a day she would walk to me. She was teasing me, but there was no malice in it, just good fun. Mama gets a bite, and Gran gets a hug. This is good!
