Tattoo You

from SOW

Wally Kurth's 18-month-old, Rosabel, can't say 'belly button ring' yet, but there is another word she's mastered: tattoo. "That's one of the first words Rena got Rosie to say, and she's very proud of it," Wally notes. "Rena just kept pointing at this tattoo of a bear's paws on her arm and saying "What's this, Rosie?" Now she says it all the time."

As for the toddler's other words, Wally cites, "I love you." That is really the biggest compliment when Rosie actually pulls her bottle out of her mouth to say it to me. Rosie also says 'thank you' - after everything. Even when she gives you something."
