There are a lot of things a child needs to learn: colors, shapes, vocabulary, animal sounds, etc. I've got the colors, shapes, and vocabulary down and I can do a handful of animal sounds (mostly barnyard and household animals, but don't ask me to do an elephant or a giraffe (???) or a lot of other zoo animals). I don't usually worry about it too much, but tonight as I was giving Anna her bath, I decided to make a noise for one of her toy boats. Now I'm worried that her Naval Architect, Ocean Engineer father will come home and tell me I did it all wrong. It's too late though since for some strange reason Anna really picked up on the noise I was making and repeated it non-stop for the rest of her bath. I'm sure I'm making the wrong noise the more I think about it (because Craig & I did have a conversation about it a while back), but I guess Craig will have the rest of his life to set her (and me) straight on that particular noise.

The giraffe, she bleats like a sheep. Disney taught me this; Festival of the Lion King at the Animal Kingdom.
