sawn-ya

Finally! Sonja says her name.

There are many things we've begun to intentionally teach her over the past few months (numbers, letters, colors, animals, names, manners, etc.). But, I forgot to teach her to say her name. I assumed since she hears it enough, she'll pick it up soon enough.

We were out for a walk last week and I asked her, "Say hi, Sonja" when we met someone on the street.

She said "Hi Sonja"!

She pronounces it like many of our friends and family did when she was first born, "Sawn-ya" rather than "Son-ya" with the "o" sound. Maybe she'll convince us to change the pronunciation!
