One of Siena’s Mother’s Day gifts to mom was that by the time mom rolled out of bed on Sunday (it wasn’t that late, actually, mom couldn’t really sleep), dad had practiced with Siena enough–and Siena had made enough progress on her own overnight apparently–that she was able to successfully say “sheep” with the full SH sound. Sometimes it was “seep” and sometimes “yeep,” but “sheep” was in there often enough that we celebrated.

And by the end of the day, we had her saying her name correctly. We cheered!
