The Lost Spoon...

Here's how the story goes...


When Morgan eats yogurt, we usually rinse out the cup and spoon and give them back to her to play with (she likes to feed herself, but hasn't mastered yogurt yet). After about 10 minutes or so, she usually abandons both and moves on with life. However, today was a little bit different.
Brian and I were both in different rooms and we heard the clang of metal and then Morgan's usual, "oh!" which means something happened. We went over to where she was (the heater vent on the floor in the family room) and looked into it, like she was. There it was.


Her spoon had fallen in and Morgan was so distraught because Brian proceeded to tell her it was lost forever (what a mean Daddy!). And, for the next 5 minutes, she stood by the vent, looking at her spoon and telling us all about her dilemma.

We didn't want Morgan to know that the vent covers come off, so Brian pulled out the spoon when Morgan wasn't around. Oh, and when she came back over to it about an hour later, she looked very confused and stared into the vent for quite some time, I'm sure wondering where her spoon went. Whether you can or can't decipher what she is saying, you'll enjoy her account of the lost spoon.

Her talking sounds like Miles' talking. He'll "talk" about something but it's just...well, not discernible English most of the time. It's funny how you know exactly what they are talking about, what's wrong, and how they feel about it all without any real words on their part. Cute story. Miles enjoys watching videos of Morgan.

HA HA!!! That is too cute and too funny. I love it- she has a language all of her own. I'm so glad you caught that one on tape. I have to laugh because we found our daughter buck-naked on a bike the other night. Yes- have the pics... no- didn't blog it. Hope all is well!!
