akkdinkodinkadinkeldoo... Maaaaama!!

While Nanny Mary was here today, I overheard a beautiful conversation upstairs from Kenzie's room. I love the secret ability to "spy" on a room, through the baby monitor..forgotten...and ON.

Nanny Mary: Maaama.
Kenzie: {Silence}
Nanny Mary: Your Mama is beautiful - say Maaama. (I can picture Mary saying this - simultaneous to the sign for Mama, which she is trying to teach her.)
Kenzie: Dada.
Nanny Mary: That's good. Daddy loves you too. Say Maaaama. Your Mommy is beautiful. Say Maaaama. (then a whole bunch of Farsi - sorry, couldn't follow THAT. :) Say Maaaama.
Kenzie: {giggle}
Kenzie: {screech} (picture her head being thrown back - with a very ornery grin)
Kenzie: ahkdlaklakadainkadoo.
Nanny Mary: Your Mama, she loves you. Your Mama is very pretty. Your Mama gives you hugs. Your Mama is funny. Say Mama.
Kenzie: akkdinkodinkadinkeldoo... Maaaaaaaama!!!
Kenzie: {sounds like:} Orb-ah? {Farsi for water}
Nanny Mary: Ah, alright, here's your water.

I promptly quit working and headed upstairs for some hugs, tickles, and smooches. AND. WAS. GREETED. WITH. SEVERAL. MAMA'S.

Love that Nanny Mary. Love that silly Kenzie. Love unintentional compliments.
