So, tonight we got to home to a babysitter's report that included one of the most exciting little tidbits ever, so far, with Birgen. [caution: parent's gushing about something small to follow]

In the course of playing with Ericka, Birgen grabbed her finger and led her through the dining room and into the bathroom. There, she pointed at Ham's dog dish full of water and looked up expectantly. "Do you want some water?" "Heh," which means yes in Birgen. So, Birgen followed her into the kitchen while Ericka filled a sippy cup full of water and promptly guzzled a sippy cup full of water (after saying "Thank you" with a sign, no doubt).

I realize that these sorts of elemental but significant achievements are probably significant mostly only to the parents and immediate family. But, damn is she cool or what?!
