First Words ...

Hello Everyone.

If you have been a long time subscriber you may remember the excitement surrounding my now 3 1/2-year-old daughter's first word. For those of you who don't know or remember, she said "Quack".

A few days ago, my 10-month-old son Milo spoke his first true word and once again, we find ourselves overjoyed. My wife Kathleen and I have been repeating Milo's first word endlessly each time we speak to him, or each other, or the folks next door.

It may not be a measure of our parenting skills but when compared to Neva's first word, it is definitely more useful for everyday conversation. So, I leave the last word in today's story to Milo, who is already waving both hands:

"Ba-ba".

Happy sweeping,
