Articulation

Daddy: Bailey, what do you want for lunch?
Bailey (2 1/2): Hmmm...(taps his chin with his finger)...TACO!
Daddy: You want a taco, Bailey?
Bailey: Yes, Daddy!

Daddy thinks to himself that starting a whole big batch of tacos from scratch all for Bailey (who probably won't eat it anyway), is not a good plan so he improvises. He cuts up a hot dog and throws it in a tortilla (quesadilla style) with some cheese and ketchup and serves it up for Bailey.

Bailey: Thank you, Daddy, for this delicious taco!

I am truly worried about my two-year-old having a massive vocabulary. In case there was any uncertainty about him outsmarting me by the age of 5...

Wow, I'm more impressed with Mark's ability to think on his feet like that! The "old Mark" would have taken 2 hours to make fresh tortillas for the tacos just to get started! :)

Don't worry about the kid outsmarting you by 5. The fall after she turned 2, Katherine could tell you that the trees that loose their leaves are deciduous trees. We still have another year or two before she surpasses us :)
