Dandelions

Whenever Mikayla sees a picture of a lion, she will roar at it as I usually say, "Lion." Well, the other day, Mikayla and I were sitting on the front lawn and she noticed the dandelions growing. She pointed at them and looking at me seemed to question, "What are those?" I told her, "Those are dandelions. Pretty huh?" About 10 minutes later, I noticed that Mikayla was roaring and I was looking around, trying to figure out what she could have possibly seen outside that resembled a lion. Nothing came to mind, so I thought she must have been day dreaming about a lion. Finally it dawned on me, she's roaring at the dandelions! That little girl associated the last part of the word dandelion, with the lion she normally sees and assumed it must be the same thing. Now whenever we go outside, she will always point and roar. Everyday that little girl puts a smile on my face.
