Kali the Gat

Durkin started saying 'cat' today. It was more like 'gat,' but he was clearly pointing to the cat and every time Kali meowed her tiny meow, Durkin would stop what he was doing and crawl to where he could see her and say, "Gat!" and point at the cat. He'd get all excited, practically jumping up and down and I'd swoop him up to take him to visit the object of his affection.

At first I wasn't sure what he was saying, but then it was so unmistakably 'cat,' and so we kept rewarding him each time with a trip to see and talk to the 'gat.' It happened while we ate dinner too. One minute Durkin is snacking on pasta and peas and then the cat meows, and Durkin lights up and points and screeches, "gat!"

Oh, man, it was sooo cute!
