beak (beach)

so nissa has a hard time with "ch" some times. i noticed there was another word with the same sound that she pronounces like "sh" but i can't think of it now. oh well.

so yesterday, when i got nissa up, i was getting her dressed and telling her about our day. we'd go get breakfast (bagel, coffee? no, something better), run some errands then go somewhere fun. "pool?" she asked right away. no, i responded. "beak?" (beach) um, well yes. we're going to the beach. i didnt' want to say anything because she doesn't always understand "later," but i think she did today. or at least to the extent she wasn't too frustrated when i had to tell her "later." after everything we did, she asked about the beach. after breakfast. in the check out at target. in the check out at joanns. at home when i had to run in and get our beach stuff. at the beach office when we went to visit daddy first and chat with some of his coworkers. once there, she was as happy as a clam (quite literal, i suppose, in this situation?) and loved playing in the wet sand (of which there was an abundance thanks to wave action). we even wandered into the wavy water by her request. she'd walk out until a bigger wave got her (i was always spotting her) then asked to go "up" then eventually asked for the sand. as always, she loved to squish whatever mold i created in the sand. destructive little bugger.

after the beach we stopped for a hot dog picnic and was off to nap. not sure why if while i was parking, she was asleep, but then nissa stayed up a good 45 minutes once getting into bed. she's a conundrum some times.

during dinner, nissa turned to me and said "beak?" i said yes, we had fun at the beach today, right?" and she paused and said "yeah!" and nodded her head. mission accomplished.
