I picked Joy up from respite yesterday evening and as we were driving home, this little voice from the back seat said: Joy: "Mom!" Mom: "Yes, Joy?" Joy: "Knock knock" Mom: "Who's there?" Joy: Kitty Mom: Kitty who? Joy: Woof woof...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (sound of joy CRACKING up) ;D It was the absolute highlight of my day. She proceeded to tell me about 25 knock knock jokes, all ending with an animal noise and her laughing her head off. It is especially rewarding because last weekend I met a couple of friends who have kids around Joy's age, and their little girls were telling me knock knock jokes. The punchlines made no sense, but I found myself sad because Joy had never tried to do anything like that. I reassured myself that she'll get there, it will just take awhile. Well, she's there and I'll let that child tell me knock knock jokes until the sun goes down! Jenifer, mom to Joy

Jenifer...
What a wonderful post! I cried and I laughed. I had a similar feeling today, when at Katie's first 4 H meeting, she actually recited the Pledge of Allegiance.
I Didn't even know she knew it! Was a big moment for me!
Hugs and WTG JOY
Knock Knock!!!
