Something really cute just happened. It’s Wednesday, and Kirsten knows that Wednesday is “Garbage Eve,” so this morning she very enthusiastically bopped around emptying wastebaskets. When she was finished she stood in the kitchen and announced, “DONE!” When we didn’t respond quickly enough she said, “Who, who.” We just had to laugh! She was reminding us to say "Thank You," which we immediately did. It was SO cute. She hasn’t ever done that before. She doesn’t have good control of her tongue, and is unable to say many consonant sounds. “Who, who” is “Kirstenese” for “thank you!” We’ve heard that one often enough that we knew immediately what she meant.
Speaking of “Garbage Eve,” that has been a phrase that we’ve used in our family for years. We got it from a TV program called “Jennifer Slept Here,” which was on from 1983-1984. It was a cute program, and when I looked it up just now I was surprised to see that it was on for only one season.

That's so cute! I think that Anna also speaks some "kirstenese". :o) Did you read about the kids we're going to adopt? We're SO exited!!!
Kirsten really is funny. What a cutie.
I don't think I'll ever forget the time that she pointed out to Dad that he had forgotten to buy cream cheese, and he clapped his hand to his forehead because he felt bad for forgetting. (He probably said "Oh, grim!" or something like that) To add drama to the moment, Kirsten followed suit and put her hand on her forehead too, with a fantastic look of disbelief. "Dad, you know I like cream cheese! How could you forget?" It was so hilarious.
I think she might also have exclaimed "Oh No!"
