Bird Talker

That name doesn't quite sound as sophisticated at "Horse Whisperer" (please note I've never seen the movie), but that is just what our little Peyton is.

Peyton enjoys looking at our bird, Beaker. As a matter of fact, I have been trying to teach him the sign for bird every time we look at him. He tries to do it, but it usually doesn't look like it. I guess only a mother would recognize it! Anyway, the other day, Jason started "bird talking" to Beaker and Peyton started mimicking the sounds. Now when we say, "Peyton, talk to Beaker!", he starts making all these little bird sounds. It is kind of funny, but also very cute.

Maybe he will someday choose one of the professions I considered when growing up - veterinarian.
