Pointer Sister

Romey isn’t saying much yet, but man, can that girl point. I’ve never seen someone point with such fervor or enthusiasm. Romey’s whole body “points” toward what she wants, and her little face contorts with such urgency, and frustration.

Ro and I had a moment today where she was maddeningly pointing, and I kept trying to bring her what she wanted but missed the mark three times solid. Finally I said, “Look, if you can’t articulate what you want, and instead just point, you’re just going to get something from that general direction. If you want what you want you’re going to have to ask for it. So ask. I might just give it to you.”

Note: This is all in good fun. We’re working with her and know that she can’t point her way through life.
