That stinky sound

When Emily hears a noise she doesn't recognize, or seems out of place, she always says: "What's this sound?" which actually comes out like this: "what sis sound?" She asks this question a lot, whenever she hears a truck or bus outside, or some construction machinery at the development site near our house.

She's also started to notice nasty smells. Her observation is usually short: "Stinky." Sometimes she'll credit it to someone: "Stinky, Daddy. Stinky." Okay, okay. She often credits it to me.

The other day we were driving somewhere and there was a nasty stench of sulfur. I figured she'd say something. She didn't disappoint.

"What sis stinky sound?"

funny, I notice Gillian making similar observations. must be something about the way the toddler processes the world around them at this stage. weird, eh?
