A 4 word sentence!

So I'm going to try and play softball once again after 5 years in the dug out. We have our 1st game this week and have yet been able to practice due to rain. I had to leave you crying Janna baby and watching me leave for practice through the window last night. You can't possibly understand why mommy, who's ALWAYS been home in the evenings for 4 years straight, would leave you standing there and not at least take you with her!? I need the exercise, i need the time away to do something that i enjoy - i don't like leaving you behind girl! One day you'll be old enough to come with me to practice or a game. Right now, you're just too busy and this will give you and daddy some time together as well. He's always so good at caring for you. He said ya'll had soup and you dumped your bowl over on the table. But he scooped it all back in and made you eat it anyway :) Before supper though, he said that you were kind of whining and pulling his hand to the kitchen but he didn't understand what you wanted although you rattled off some jabber. So, he took you back to the den where you proceded to cry. He got down on your level and told you that if you wanted something that you had to use your words and tell him so he could know what you needed. SO, you marched back to the kitchen, turned your back to him, pointed high and said, 'Anna' (as in Janna), then turned to him and signed and continued with, 'want - cereal - please!' What a big girl! And of course daddy gave you some cereal as a pre-supper snack :) You can do so well with your words if we can slow you down long enough to speak them! We know you'll improve in time and we'll be patient along the way. We are very proud of you baby girl! Keep on talking...
