Breaking News!

We interrupt this festival of phlegm, this celebration of snot, this marvel of mucous (seriously, where is it all coming from?) to bring you exciting bumblebee news:

She speaks! Well, ok, she’s been talking for quite a while now, but the nature of her speaking has advanced – she has uttered a duosyllabic word! Well, ok, she’s been more than monosyllabic for quite a while now, but the nature of her duosyllabic talk has advanced – each of the two syllables was different! A breakthrough for us. Up until now, bee just repeated the opening sound as many times as the word called for. You know, mama, dada, wawa, nana, baba, woowoo, nighnigh. But today – two different phonetic sounds. I knew she was capable of this; she can adeptly get two sounds into one word, providing they were monosyllabic words –get me? Like hop, more, or ball, and she can definitely string more than one word together – lately, in addition to pointing things out – a bus, a shee, a car (she gets her articles), I’ve been hearing a lot of all done, oh, no and no, mama.

But just this morning, she did it. A two-syllable word, two different sounds…

Poopers.

Her father will be so proud.
