One of those things is the speech of our child. Our life will be much more empty when AJ starts saying words correctly.

For example:

Calvin & Hobbes instead of Calvin and “Hobbies”

I expect instead of I “suspect”

Spaghetti instead of “pahsghetti”

Pretzel instead of “prenzhel”

And the one we’ve already lost: Water instead of “Moder”

Yes…life is full of loss. The little smiles we share as they grow.
