Lil' Asking Questions

Lil' knows many animal sounds. When we see animals in books, movies or in real life Lil' likes to make their sound. She's been asked "What sound does the ___ make?" for months. Last night was the first time she turned the tables on Mama and Mr. Eleven.

Lil': "Quack, Quack. What's that sound Daddy?"
Mr. Eleven: "That a duck"
Lil'" "Good job Daddy" "Moo. What's that sound, Mama?"
Mama: "That's the sound a cow makes Lil'"
Lil': "Good job Mama"

The game continued thru several rounds and as many animals as she could think of. Sometimes they weren't really sounds, like when she said "Boing, Boing" I wasn't sure if I was supposed to answer "Tigger" (Winnie The Pooh's friend) or "Kangaroo". She seemed satisfied with my answer of Tigger. I think I better figure out what sounds hyenas and baboons makes since that those are some of her favorite animal toys these days. She loves her "meena" and "boon".

Didn't Lil learn Boing Boing at Kamp Ketchum? I remember her Boinging with Pooh and Tigger in the bathtub.

Mama and Daddy.... better get used to being "on the spot". It's Lil's job to keep you two in tow.

Lil' has been exposed to Pooh and his friends for a long time thanks to Papa Hans and a series of books that came 3 per month, but I do remember her coming home from Kamp Ketchum saying Boing, Boing so I think she did start saying it there. ~Mama
