Shaylyn recently had her first birthday. She doesn't say much, but she communicates exquisitely. On Easter, she interrupted her mom and me to deliver a succinct message. "Aaannngh," she said. Cyndi looked her in the eye and answered, "I know, Shaylyn, but you're just going to have to wait. Brendan and Logan aren't being too nice right now, but give them a couple minutes. They'll come around. You'll see." Shaylyn turned and walked away, satisfied. "You knew what she was saying?" I asked. (It's been a while since I've had a baby. I've lost my touch.) "Of course. She was tattling on her brother and sister." Throughout the afternoon, Shaylyn continued to make adequate use of "aaanngh," "aawaangh," "aa-hangha," etc. Though the meanings were varied and expansive, the nuances of sound were so delicate that only her mother could act as interpretor. Lord, is it OK that I sound a lot like Shaylyn when I try to tell you how I feel? I groan and growl and spit out single, sometimes nonsensical syllables like an infant. "Eeeeeek, God!" "Help, Jesus!" "Ouch, Lord!" "Aaanngh, Father..." Still, somehow, You always leave me satisfied. You always understand.
