Wordy Post

After reading Sharon's comment about wordy posts, I am tempted to write a very wordy post, all about words, though I'm sure lists of words is not what she meant.
When the kids were little I kept track of their first words. I still have some of those lists somewhere. Some of Sharon's first words were book, bug, ball, baby, bottle, banana, bologna, and thank you. Caleb invented his own words, such as Howky, which was a sore or a bandaid, and Onna, which was a light.
My first sight words that I can read in Hebrew are I, you, he, they, yes, no, because, good, only, this, name, you, there, or, all, too, with, of, who, what. All other words I sound out slowly, if at all. One day I was struggling to figure out RVQH, and finally realized it was my own name. I still am not completely past the stage of turning a piece of paper around twice, trying to figure out which way is right side up. I must know hundreds of words by now, but it doesn't seem to do me much good. I suppose they are like seeds planted in the earth, that will eventually sprout up into usefulness.
Here are the words that I have overheard here and there and understood -- all, bus, direction, electricity, and-a-half, excuse me, how are you, help, want, hear, here, feel, hello, I, moment, no, of, good, simple, so-so, see-you-later, seven, thank you, tired, understand, good morning, what's new, goodbye.
Well, that's the best I can do in making a "wordy" post. Rather digital, I suppose. Odd that you can think without words, but you can't communicate very well without words.
