"Mommy? Grapes?"
"Sure baby, I'll get you some grapes."
"Mommy? Grapes?"
"Yes, Ellie, I'm getting them for you right now."
"Mommy? Grapes?"
"ELLIE. I'M GETTING THEM."
"Mommy? Grapes? Mommy? Grapes? Mommy? Grapes? Mommy? Grapes?"
"Here they are, Ellie."
"Mommy. Grapes! Look, Mommy, grapes! LOOK! Grapes, Mommy. Mommy, grapes."
"Yes, I see. I see the grapes."
"Grapes, Mommy. Look, Mommy. Grapes."
"ELLIE. STOP SAYING THAT."
"Grapes."
"Shhhhhhh..... shh...."
"Grapes, Mommy."
"ELLIE. JUST BE QUIET FOR JUST A SECOND."
(whispers) "Grapes."
The other day my husband asked me what I thought it would be like when our Elie started talking. I just laughed. And then I read this post and laughed even more. I read it out loud to my husband and said "This. This is what it will be like when Elie starts talking." Even down to specifically grapes. Jen, you're so funny!
