“Woo woo da-da!” Said while toddling over to where his father was lying in bed, and while clutching two toy engines to his chest.
So I’m pretty sure the correct translation is, “Daddy, I’m going to run these trains across your sleeping face now.”
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.

Hee! I love it. A fantastic first sentence. Well done, Davy! :o) The first sentence is a big deal. I still remember Luke’s, which was a question comprised of two-tongue-clucks–his sound for “cat”–and “nigh nigh,” asking whether the cat who’d just run away from him was scampering off to bed. Now I’m looking forward to Echo’s, which will almost undoubtedly involve (something) paired with “uh oh.”

Awww! “Did the cat go night-night?” is a great first sentence.
