we are so proud.

as the chicken gets ready to turn TWO years old this month (when/how did that happen?!?!), we have been encouraging him to speak in sentences. his pronunciation and enunciation have blossomed, but he still needs a few extra shoves to put thoughts together. until thursday evening, that is.

we had envisioned his first unprompted sentence to be something like: 'i love mommy', or 'i love mama.' it didn't happen. as we were sitting together eating dinner, the chicken got a goofy look on his face and blurted out, 'i... love... pizza.' nice. real nice.

then, as we were shopping yesterday, his eyes sparkled as he spotted a piano. as we walked around the store, i let him play with the piano. then, oh-so-lovingly, he looked at me and said, 'mama? i. love. pi-a-o.'

well, at least he is beginning to put his thoughts together...
