Beh-Bee

As we have reported, Clara has a few words down absolutely pat, among them, baby. Tonight, one of the books she selected to read was Dr. Seuss' ABCs*, in which the following rhyme accompanies the letter B: "Barber, baby, bubbles, and a bumble bee." For the rest of the book, Clara kept saying "beh-bee," and gently flipping back to that page. (Birdie Brigade, you can also, unfortunately, hear how rattle-y her breathing is in this video clip. You don't even have to turn it up.)

*Julie recently realized that she has the whole of this book memorized.
