The Princess of Tautologies
One of the truest joys of parenthood is knowing the idiosyncrasies of our children. Isabelle has been blessed with accelerated verbal skills – for many months she has been explaining her needs in the form of tautologies. For example, “I need cotton candy because I need cotton candy.” These explanations have spurred many honest laughs around our dinner table. Isabelle’s tautologies serve to emphasize a point, which is good as long as you want that point to be emphasized. Some points, however, could do without emphasis, such as “Mommy… Daddy tooted because he tooted!”
