We have often said that Kylie is now capable of screaming like a pterodactyl (and a really really loud one at that). Aunt Melissa recently made this remark to Uncle Graham, to which he had a very reasonable response. How do you know what a pterodactyl sounds like? hmmm?....good point uncle Graham. good point. So, since I guess we really have no clue what these prehistoric flying creatures sound like, we will now start saying that Kylie can scream like a very very wild Banshee (I am much more familiar with the sound of these mythical creatures).
Why do I bring this up? Because I said so. sorry just practicing. :-) We went to a party today, for an ex coworker (Outbacker) of mines son's first birthday. Just like you never know when Walker, Texas Ranger will find you, we also never have any true idea when the banshee might rear her hairy head (We are sure it will happen sometime during our flight to NY in a couple weeks). It just so happened that during the middle of the party, while everyone was enjoying a nice cake and iced cream dessert, Kylie decided to start talking. I use the term talking loosely. It's much more comparable to an endearing screeching. Being the attention seeker that she is, she slowly increases her decibels until she is quite certain that the entire room, no, house, no, neighborhood can hear the story she is telling. Nat and I, as with most people in the house, can't help but smile at our cute little girl's admirable attempts at learning the weird and unorthodox language we call English. Inevitably, our smiles elicit a cheek to cheek grin on the little Kylie-o-sauruses face, right before she dives back into a focused story telling that can only be compared to the great Aesop of old. Keep practicing little one. Keep practicing.
more to come soon,
Craig
p.s. Kylie had a great time playing with all the other kids at the party (Including Outbacker friends Marty and Laura's little 2 year old, Nolan). Kylie loves other kids. The first thing she does to every single one she gets close to is reach out and try to grab them. I can only hope that it's for a big hug.
