When Mummy finally gets something right

[pne]

This evening, Amy was pointing to a butterfly on her high chair’s seat cover and saying “Sessa” (or thereabouts).

Stella at first thought she was saying “Kissen” (cushion), but I said I thought she was trying to say “Schmetterling” (butterfly). Stella asked Amy whether she meant “Schmetterling”, and Amy said, “Jaaaa!”—in the kind of tone one might use to praise a child who’s done something well: “Well done! Good girl!” :)
