"Daddy daddy daaaaaaaaaaddy daddy daddy," sings Damaris.

Permalink

"Where, oh where, could Damaris's daddy be," trills Isabella.

Permalink

"Daddy daddy daddy where oh Daddy," Damaris improvises.

Permalink

"Is he in the music rooms?" Isabella wonders musically as they enter the hall on which such things are found.

Permalink

"Is daddy in the music roooooms?"

Permalink

Well, his name is on the sign-up sheet for this one and nobody is after it. Isabella knocks. "We will see if he is here," she sings.

Permalink
He is! He is in the music room!

He gives his wife and daughter a kiss each and one hug to share between them.
Permalink

"Here is Daddy, we have found him," Isabella sings to her treasure, after she returns the offered kiss.

Permalink

"Daddy daddy daddy," sings Damaris.

Permalink

"Our little one has found her singing voice," says Isabella. "And complete sentences."

Permalink
"I can hear the singing part," says Micaiah.

"We found daddy!" says Damaris. "Hi Daddy we found you!"

Micaiah laughs and hugs them again.
Permalink

"Now that we've found him what do you suppose we should do with him?" Isabella asks Damaris.

Permalink
Damaris thinks.

Damaris says, "Hug Daddy!"

Damaris holds out her arms.
Permalink

Daddy hugs Damaris.

Permalink

"What a clever idea," says Isabella, transferring Damaris's weight to her daddy in the course of this hug.

Permalink

Micaiah kisses Isabella on the forehead and hugs their daughter.

Permalink
Damaris giggles.

Over the course of subsequent months, her diction improves. Soon complete sentences are a norm instead of a novelty.

As is customary for little angels - or for that matter, mortals who grow up in an angel hold - this is approximately when she's enrolled in formal voice lessons. Rinnah teaches the youngest cohort, and her granddaughter is slotted right in with others of her age.

Permalink

Damaris enjoys formal voice lessons! She does not have her mother's problem of singing too quietly. She does not have that problem at all.

Permalink

That is good! Everyone likes to hear little angel voices. Rinnah is terribly proud of her. So is Isabella.

Permalink

It makes Damaris very happy when Mommy and Grandma are proud of her!

Permalink
That's good!

Does it also make Damaris very happy when, timed nearly right for her third birthday, she gets a little sister?
Permalink

Damaris is not sure how to feel about that at all.

Keziah's feelings on the matter seem to mostly come in the form of whimpery mewls whenever she is not being actively fed right then, or sleeping. She sleeps a lot.

Permalink
Keziah is kind of boring.

Damaris asks her father if she was that boring when she was a baby.

He considers the question, and then says she was a lot louder.

Damaris is not surprised.
