Close!

My daughter started yesterday making sounds that she has never before made, sounds and intonations that are wildly similar to spoken English, and a touch of German. It would not surprise me at all if she suddenly started speaking clear words in a matter of days. It could also be weeks or months before she does, of course. However, it wouldn’t surprise me if she just whipped it all out within the next week, anyway.

Thank you, God, for our daughter. Please, keep my husband and our daughter and me safe, and make us well. Guide us kindly and encouragingly and clearly, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
