Disappearing Act

We know it’s been coming for a while now. We’ve talked about it. Speculated about when it would happen. Wished that it wouldn’t happen, but we know it is inevitable. As sure as snow in winter, we know that eventually what we love so much will stop.

For the past year whenever Aisha asked for a drink of water she would say, “wa,wa,wa,wa,wa,wa,waaatterrrr”. And we love it. It is so cute, and totally unique to her. Ever since she has learned to speak she has asked for water this way. Unfortunately it’s almost gone. As Aisha’s ability to speak improves, her cute mis-saying has been disappearing. It shows up now and then, but it used to happen everytime. Now it’s a rare occasion. Soon, it will only be a memory. And Ang & I will miss it. So for now, everytime we hear “wa,wa,wa,wa,waaterrrrr” we revel in it, and know that this time, it might be the last time.
