"Trash"

     Who would of knew such a simple word can make a mom and dad excited and all giddy!? Robert and I were at the mall today with Peyton after dropping Ethan of at preschool. While daddy was at Dicks Sporting Goods checking out, Me and Peyton went outside to wait at a bench. As soon as I pushed his stroller up to the bench in front of where I sat, he stuck out his index finger and pointed at a trash can. He says "trash".
     I was so shocked! Too shocked to grab our Flip camera. (WHICH by the way is the greatest camera ever!! Small compact for on the go, easy and quick turn on and power up, one click record button, AND an awesome picture/color quality. We have a handheld video camera, and I prefer my Flip to it any day!! SO perfect for on the go especially!!! Now, go out and buy one and prove me wrong! lol).
      He sat there and said it hundreds of times in a row. "Trash. Trash. Trash. Trash..." then I said the word. I think it made him tickled that we actually communicated.  He said a real ordinary word for the first time!! Other than "Mommy" and "Daddy". "Trash" of all things too. It was cute. No, it was BEYOND cute! Of course he wouldn't say it when his daddy walked up, so daddy walked behind us as we passed another trash can and he heard him say "trash. trash."
     Being a parent, you get to experience the thrill of small things such as a baby saying the word "trash."
