baby go "whaa, whaa..."

I have to blog this so that I won't forget it...
For as long as L. has been verbal, he has made up stories. He's had "Rocky," his imaginary brother & other imaginary friends and siblings for years now.
Zora has just started getting in on the act.
We were doing our usual family dinner and we were all sharing about our day (or at least L was trying to tell B about our day :) Barclay is so good about waiting his turn, but sometimes he has to remind L. that "mommy and daddy want to talk to each other, too.") and Zora has been so good about saying, "Hi daddy! You have good day?"...or just sharing a little bit. Well, this evening she began to tell us a story. It went something like this:
"Baby go 'whaa, whaa'! Dinaso' eat it up. All gone."
We asked, "The baby cried...and the dinosaur ate it up?"
She responded, "Yea...but baby okay. Mommy hold it."
One of us said, "Oh...okay. Thank you for telling us about it."
So, she has repeated this same made-up story w different variations all week. It's so funny! I have no idea how these ideas got into her head or how the baby is "okay" after being eaten by the "dinaso'," but I love that she is already pretending and making up stories. It's her Southern story telling gene coming out. She's really a Southerner after all...:)
