"That's a...."

Esther's latest phrase is, "That's a ______." For example, when we were at the airport, awaiting our flight to Portland, she kept going up to an outlet that was along one wall, and I had to redirect her attention elsewhere by saying, "No, Esther, that's a no-no." So she picked it up; as clear as a bell, she pointed at it and said loudly, "That's a no-no!!"

Now she's saying it for other things, like "That's a seat" (for chair) or "That's mine" and "That's milk," appropriately leaving off articles where necessary.

We're amazed by her early verbal skills. Maybe she'll become an English major like Mama was. ;)
