Teamwork!

Here are some of the words Sierra knows.

Bye bye.
Mommy.
Daddy.
Ball.
Moon.
Sky.

Teamwork.

Wait. What?

Yup. You read that right. Sierra knows the word “teamwork.” I should be afraid – after all, she could be morphing straight from 18-month-old to middle management office wonk. But I’m not.

She’s an avid fan of Nickelodeon’s Wonder Pets, a cute little show that features a duck, a turtle and a guinea pig. The theme of the show is working together as a group to solve problems. “What’s going to work?” they sing. “Teamwork!”

And this is how Sierra knows the word.

In other words, watch what you say. She’s eighteen months. And just like every kid at eighteen months, she’s a sponge.

She’s an adorable, babbling, mostly incoherent sponge.
