Viola's sounds

Sep
4

Joe's parents gave us a fancy video camera for Christmas. It later got stolen and then replaced by our insurance company. We've been using it to take a ton of video but haven't been sharing much of it with the outside world. Viola now has a few proto-words in her repertoire, so it seems an appropriate time to demonstrate them with video.

Exhibit A: "dada" (note that Joe goes by "papa," so she is probably referring to the cultural movement of the early 20th century)

Exhibit B: "mama" (note that she said this one first and that I go by "mama")

Exhibit C: "bbbbrrrrr" She has been saying this one for months, but only when she's dissatisfied. This usually has the effect of making us laugh at her when she's mad, which only makes her madder. This clip has a happy ending, though.

I love the prominent role that the twisty cup plays in the second video. It's like beautiful foreshadowing for her life as a glassblower.

How old does she need to be to go to Pilchuck?

Will she compete this year?

So many questions, so many questions.

Indeed, V only drinks from twisty cups.
As you so eloquently point out, the annual competition approaches!
