An awesome moment in my daughters developing brain


Today while Lily and I sat eating my breakfast, she pointed to my juice and said, “My juice!”

She calls me “My” so I replied with, “Yes, this is mommy’s juice.”

Then she held up her sippy cup, patted her chest and looked up and to the right, thinking about how to tell me whose juice she was holding. She looked back and smiled this HUGE grin and said, “Leelee’s juice!”

There it is, folks. My daughter has made a huge mental leap and I wasn’t at work to miss it. And apparently, she’s calling herself Leelee. Works for me.
