Shemen

The last couple of days Morgan has been saying "sheman" and we've had no idea what she's been talking about. It's funny though because when Tom was little and would hear the song Love One Another, the part that says "by this shall men know," and think it was saying "by this shemeno" and he thought a shemeno was a pimento... so you can imagine the little child mind thinking about some sort of pepper while singing Love One Another. And we thought it was interesting that she was using the same word.

Anyway, today she was looking out the window at the back yard and she kept saying it. Well, the pool is there so I thought maybe she wanted to go swimming. That turned out not to be it. Finally she said it again and said "tall, tall, tall" and did the little motions for Once There Was A Snowman. Shemen = Snowman! I asked her if she wanted to go build a snowman and, alas, that's what she wanted. So we went outside and built some Morgan sized shemen.

She is such a doll! Hurray for figuring out her lingo. That's the best...understanding what they're saying and they get excited that you finally "hear" them. Miss you guys!
