A Mother's Woe

My daughter can...

Moo like a cow. Oo-oo-oo like a monkey. Bok-bok like a chicken. Rawr like a lion or dinosaur. Neigh like a horse (this is the cutest ever). Make her Itsy Bitsy Spider go up the water spout. Outrun me. Identify a hundred different things around the house, including specific books. Smell pretty flowers. Almost feed herself with a spoon. Give kisses and hugs on command. Say "gub-gub-gub" when she wants to read her Yo Gabba Gabba book or when it comes on TV. Throw all her stuffed animals over the baby gate into the kitchen. Walk backwards. Find her feet, belly, hair, ears and tongue, as well as other peoples' noses. Brush her teeth (with help). Dance.

My daughter cannot...

Say "mama."

Sigh.
