Growing up

Now that Abby's growing up, her vocabulary and speaking skills are getting better, which makes me pretty sad. She's speaking in full sentences which are actually intelligible most of the time. While I appreciate the ease in conversing with my child, I miss her made-up words she had. I think the saddest day for me was when she started calling her "Keepies" "Blankies". But she still has the best word still in use. She has always called fruit snacks "ya-yas". Don't really know why, but she has. And she still does! I'm going to be totally depressed when she realizes, after getting made fun of in first grade, that they're not really called ya-yas. But until then, she must never know.
