Another conversation with a 2 year old

I called Zoe and she came running in, "Yeah?"

"Can you say yes ma'am?"

She said, "Yeah!"

So I said, "Can you say yes?"

She said, "Yes!"

Much praise.

"Now can you say yes ma'am?"

"No!"

(It is interesting to note that Gabby has consistently more success than I do in getting Zoe to pronounce words. She also translates for her, since Zoe's "no" usually means "yes" [but it also means no, so a little deciphering is sometimes necessary]. I'll ask Zoe a question, and she'll say no, and Gabby will promptly pipe up, "No is means for yes, Mama." She apparently thinks I forget every single time, so I need to be reminded! :o)
