One of the many little funny conversations we have at the dinner table.

I pour the rest of the water from the pitcher into my glass.

Kaisa: All gah! (all gone)

Me: Thanks.  It’s nice to have someone to tell me when things are all gone.

Nathan: Yeah, you’re our little barometer of emptiness!

Kaisa: Yeah!

Shortly after this hilarious moment, we decided to count how many words Kaisa knows. Here’s what we came up with:

Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Hi, Bye-Bye, Yeah, No, More, Please, Thank You, Happy, Pretty, Baby, Puppy, Blankie, Zebra, Bath, Water (Wa-Wa), Kitty, Hair, Eyes, Ears, Nose, Mouth, Eat, Outside, Up, Down, Ashes (sounds like something else!), Let Go, Look, Knock, Sticky, Stuck, Body, Melodie, All Done, All Gone, Go, Stop It, Hot, Push, Shoes, Book, Diaper, O.K., Mine, Shirt, Kaisa, Snack, Beep, Milk, Drink, Juice, Stairs, Yogurt, Cheese, Swimming (Wooshee)

59 words! There are probably more I can’t think of.  Keep in mind these are only words that she says voluntarily.  She understands and will say a lot more if asked.  That also doesn’t include animal sounds.  Isn’t she a smartie pants?
