Ickity Dickity Dock has spent the last two months mystifying me. She constantly says a word — that I can not understand. It is actually kind of frustrating, because I have tried to figure out the words many times — to no avail. The main part of the word that I could understand was a “long e” sound. At different points of these months, I thought she was saying “birdEE”, or “trEE”. So after awhile, I just gave up. I figured it would work itself out in time.
So a few days ago, I was in the other room and heard her say the word over and over. And this time after she was saying the word, she was grunting really loud like if she wants another bite of dinner. After she did this a few times, I headed in, and she was pointing to all of the books in the book case. So I said, “Read”? And she said, “rEEd”!!!!
Ever since, I have noticed that she is always saying “read” when we are in the “Family Night Room” (according to Scout), where all of the books are. I also remember that quite a few times when she was saying the mystery word, she had a magazine. So, while grasping at straws, I helped her find a “tree” in the magazine. My poor little girl just wanted her mama to read to her. Is that not so cute!!! She was saying read all along. So as a celebration — we headed to Borders Books to have a reading marathon.
