Henry's First Word

Not “ma-ma”.  Not “da-da”.  But “ni-ni” (as in “night-night”).  How do I know?  Because that’s what he says as he waves good-night to his siblings before his naps.

I think the fact that this became his first word might have something to do with how much he absolutely adores (I mean can-hardly-contain-himself, ridiculous-grin, wiggling-in-my-arms adores) the fact that when it is time for him to go to bed, every single person in the room stops what they are doing, looks directly at him and says this to him with smiles, waves and great enthusiasm.  Like maybe he thinks it means, “Henry, you are the most amazing and wonderful thing ever to happen to this planet!  We’re all just taking a moment to celebrate your greatness!”  Or, maybe he just likes naps.
