Book of choice

Mommy: Ellie, which book do you want to read?
Ellie: Airpa! Airpa! Airpa! (pointing in the air above her head and moving her finger in circles)
Mommy: You want to read the airplane book?
Ellie: Aye!
Mommy: I don't know what book that is.
Ellie: Airpa Bay-bay.
Mommy: Airplane baby book? I don't know what book that is.
Ellie: Airpa Bay-bay! Airpa Bay-bay! (followed by all sorts of different signs)
Mommy: You want to read the baby sign language book?
Ellie: Aye! Dada (pointing to Daddy).
Daddy: Ok... let's read the sign book. What is this?
Ellie: Bay-bay (signing baby).
Daddy: What is this?
Ellie: Beh (signing bed).
Daddy: And this?
Ellie: Airpa! (signing airplane)
Daddy: Ellie, you are SO smart!
Ellie: Aye.

And the family rode off into the sunset signing words to each other... cow, bird, grandma, cat, water, eat, banana... the list went on and on.*

The end.

Everyone: Ahhh. Sigh.


* HOLY COW! When did that happen? Dang! I swear I watched her age right before my very eyes!
