Shortly after I proclaimed that Uma knows only two words, she learned a third: "uh oh." And it's super cute. That's what Daddy's going to say when Uma discovers he said she only knew two. She's funny with "girl" because she doesn't know the difference between boys and girls. It could be the kids on the wagon box or on the picture on her wall or anything else; it doesn't matter, they're all "girl." She also recognizes words that she doesn't yet know how to say. One of her favorite games is "star flower" in which she scrambles over the bed in her room pointing at things on the bedspread. The other player has to identify it as a star or a flower, or, every now and then, a butterfly. She wanted to play "flower flower" with her pants, but Daddy got tired because there are like 10,000 flowers on them. Uma's got the drive of an Olympic athlete, but Daddy's holding her back.
