Unsafe Animal Sounds

Isabella loves making animal noises almost as much as we love hearing them! "Is Bella a lion?" results in the darn cutest little growl you've ever heard. She is also a snake, sheep, peacock, elephant, dog, duck, monkey, and owl. I can thank Eric Carle's book "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" for the odd selection of some of the animals. She LOVES that book! We did, however, have a "must not laugh" moment at Mass the other day when she pulled the book out of her diaper bag and let loose with an enormously loud growl!

So this morning Patrick comes upstairs with her - "Tell Mama what a cow says, Bella."

"ooooooooo" - deep, but no "M"

He confesses to me that they've been playing animals, and he was trying to get her to say "Moo" using other "M" words, but what came out was...

M-m-m-m-moooooo... Mama-Moooo

He decided that was not the best tactic.
