Robin just totally busted out with a perfect “uh-oh!” when I dropped a strawberry on the floor. I was pretty stunned but recovered quickly enough to give him an enthusiastic “That’s right! Uh-oh! Smart boy!”
Now he is running around the house calling “uh-oh! uh-oh! uh-oh!”
It seems like the floodgates have opened on this “language” thing.
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.
My short fiction is included in the anthologies Fae, Love Hurts, and Speculative Story Bites:

Hurrah!
Although, we must have been pleased about Bea’s talking for at least a year before we realised that she only stops to sleep.

Mark: That’s adorable. Actually, Robin does sometimes wander around the house wearing my flip-flops!
