Siena is now saying “E-I-E-I-O,” though often it comes out as “E-I-E-O.” This morning, as we were driving up the interstate to get to the exit for her day care, after a spell of silence, she spoke up with an “E-I-E-I-O.”

I sang to her, “Old Siena had a farm, E-I-E-I-O. And on this farm this was a dog…who I forgot to bring in and is still outside in the back yard.”

Darn it.

Drop the kid off, turn around, head home, and let the dog in…
