Toot!

Sam figured out how to blow a whistle today! I was so shocked. I bought her this cheap bird shaped whistle at CVS recently thinking that Mark or I could use it and show her. Supposedly, when you add different amounts of water to the whistle, it makes different bird sounds. Well, we tried it and it didn’t seem to do anything but leak, but truthfully we didn’t try very hard. Anyway, we have been using it without water and it just sounds like a plain old whistle, not a bird, but Sam likes it. She has started trying to put it into Mark’s mouth when she wants to hear it. Today, she found it on the end table and put it into her own mouth and before she knew it, out came a whistle! She looked so surprised. I don’t think she actually figured out that she has to blow, but rather, it just sort of whistled while she was breathing out, but she eventually figured out that air makes it work because she kept doing it. I took her to the stairs to show Mark who was in the basement working, and he said he heard all the whistling but thought it was me! Sam made a whistle for him and she looked very pleased with her accomplishment. We were very proud of our little girl today. She is quite grown up. 🙂
