Sound Good?

I think the most consistently amusing part of parenthood is hearing Fiona using the exact phrases and cadences we use. For example, when we got her a toy stroller to put her baby in, within a few minutes she was strapping the baby, saying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" the whole time, just like Daddy does when he's running late to work and needs to get Fiona to day care in a hurry.

Last weekend after Fiona woke up from her nap she announced that she was hungry, so we asked if she wanted a snack.

"I want a cookie," she said.

"How about some grapes?" we countered, trying our best to instill the healthy eating habits that she'll toss out the window come high school. "Or yogurt? Does yogurt sound good?"

Fiona wasted no time climbing on top of her mother and getting right in Andrea's face.

"How about a cookie?" she said. "Cookie sound good? Yes? Yes? Cookie sounds good, right?"

Two years old and already she's cracked our cutting edge rhetorical tricks.
