“Food”
Sadie is in her chair in the kitchen, eating breakfast, second breakfast, or whatever it is. After a spoonful of turkey soup, a slice of cranberry banana bread with cream cheese (she mainly eats the cream cheese off of it), and some apple sauce, I found myself out there asking her if she wanted a shower, or food.
Her “mmm!” standard reply was ambiguous, so I kept repeating. Finally I pointed at the bathroom, said “shower?” and then said, “or food?”
Sadie said “food.”
Woohoo! I’d been wondering if we’d get more words out of her if we didn’t understand her form of communication so well, or pretended not to.
Not what I was expecting, either. Usually she eats lighter at this point. Then again, she got up early. Anyway, it gave me an excuse for the two of us to try the blueberry pie, which is as amazing as the apple pie turned out to be. Now we know: Hannaford store brand pies. Bonus if they’re discounted.
