When Ivy reached the age where her main “party trick” was to tell you what noises different animals make her Grandpa Moose (my Dad) was determined to teach her what a giraffe said.  Today I witnessed evidence that all that training many months ago finally paid off.

These three animals were set up on her floor today as I was watching her play.

She pointed to this one and said “Neeeiggghhh!”

She pointed to this one and said, “This one says “Pbbbbbbbb” “

Then with a twinkle in her eye and a little grin Ivy  looked at me, pointed to this one and said…

“This one says, “Hi Shorty!””

Congratulations Grandpa Moose you did it!
