sentences

Yesterday was Mother's Day and as Ada gave me the greatest present of all, a three hour nap through brunch that Elliot cooked, I had a chance to reflect on what an amazing and incomparable experience motherhood is. To this point, Ada has started to push her vocabulary to include sentences, or at least semblances of sentences so that Mommy can understand what she is saying, without my prompting. The pride I felt the first time I realized she was actually understanding the concept of language beyond the repetition we practice each day on our way home from school was equivalent to every great accomplishment I've ever accomplished in my life. Who knew.
