I said turtle today

Mommy finally understood me today. I have been saying turtle for weeks now, and she finally got it. It's like a lightbulb went off in her head. It can be so frustrating trying to talk to her and her never understanding what it is I am saying. We were getting in the car and I simply wanted my turtle. She gave me every toy in the bag while I kept saying "tur-tle". Then she handed me the turtle and actually was so excited when I took it happily. I'm sure we'll have to go through this whole exercise again tomorrow when I ask for my doggie. It's frustrating being one.
