A sentence!
Tesla has been babbling for quite some time. Her babbling sounds like full-blown conversations, but we don't understand much yet. We try to engage with responses such as, "is that so? then what happened?" but aren't sure if we make sense to her either. She has been increasingly saying recognizable words though. And this morning, when UPS dropped off a box, she pointed to the box and clearly said, "what's that?"
Wow! I hugged her.
She's just beginning to use a few Japanese words. I'll be thrilled when she says her 1st sentence in Japanese.

Yay! This is probably your best Christmas present!
Oooh! Yay! Those words she's babbling that aren't recognizable - she could already be saying all kinds of things, they just don't sound right. Guilt story --> my son Jacob, for TWO MONTHS would say 'ah-loo' off and on, and we had no idea what he was saying. Until one day, I said 'I love you' and he replied 'ah-loo too'. OH-MI_GOSH, he had been saying 'I love you' for two months, and I didn't realize it. LOL. It's secret code for us now. (We spell it alu.) Example - at the bus stop, if one of us has forgotton to say it that morning? He'll yell it out from the bus stop to me, and no one knows what he's saying. At 10 years old, it's embarrassing to tell your mom you love her, but to yell alu, you can say you're saying 'bye'. Point of story - everything's memorable. But you are lucky enough to already know that! I bet that's why people keep reading your blog. They need that refresher, that reminder that every bit of life is amazing. You see the beauty in that. :) (Oh, I think I am high on pumpkin pie and chocolate brownies right now, as I am babbling.) Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays/all of that!
PS: Now that you got the whole world curious... what WAS inside the mysterious UPS box??
I am passing the question on from Kai -- I told him the story of Tesla talking while giving him a bath, and he kept asking "so, what was inside the box???".
Excitement! :) It is awesome seeing that stuff come together!
Indeed...this is very exciting.
Laura, I love a Alu story...I hope to create a secret code with T too!
Eva, the box was a cute book titled Little Gorilla, and it's about how everyone in the jungle loved baby gorilla, and then one day when he got BIG, everyone came and sang Happy Birthday. Very sweeet.
Thanks!!! Sorry to be so nosey, but Kai was dying from curiosity! He will love this story, I am sure!
