the littlest grammar nazi....

For quite awhile now Charleigh has answered all questions with "Um...." Being the intelligent parents that we are, we deduced that this meant yes. We would keep guessing what she was saying and when we got it right, she would say , "Um...." So for the past few months most conversations went like this:

Me/Josh: "Charleigh, do you want (fill in blank e.g.: food, drink, milk, toys, play,etc.)?"

Charleigh: "Ummm......."

Me/Josh: "Yeah?"

Charleigh: "Yeah."

And so we would fulfill the request and life would go on. Until two days ago.......when this happened:

Me/Josh: "Charleigh, do you want (fill in blank again)?"

Charleigh: "Ummm......"

Me/Josh: "Yeah?"

Charleigh: "Yes."

Yes? When did she start using better grammar than us? And where did she learn this? Now, each time we give the "Yeah?", she says "Yes" as clear as day. I have this strong feeling that she is going to be smarter than us........
