Starting conversations

Picking Brad up from the train station 2 days ago, Arwen pipes up from the back of the van, “Dad?”

“Yes.”

” ‘Member cah wash?” A week earlier we’d gotten the van washed, which is like being at the carnival for a toddler, well, for Mama too.

“Yes, I remember.” Daddy answered.

“Dat fun!”

She immediately picked up on how much we loved this conversation. I believe it’s the first one she has started herself. Just out of her own thoughts, decided to contribute to the daily art of conversing. So she has repeated it a few times, always in the van going to or from the Bart station. Only her last sentence has been shortened to just “Fun!”
