City Mom #3

Over the past few months we've been noticing a new development in Ella's speech. It of course continues to be very good, clear and quite extensive--however the new development is much more exciting: Ella has a Chicago accent!

I keep asking David, "Why does she have this accent? You don't. I don't. So why does she?" He of course said well, because she was born in Chicago and developed her speech in Chicago so she speaks like a true native Chicagoan. We love it! She's also constantly walking around on the city streets and riding city buses and city trains all filled with native Chicagoans here and there.

So if you're one of those parents considering having a baby in the city and then moving out to a suburban life, think twice. For so many, many, many reasons. But also because you might miss out on your kids sounding like Big Jim Colosimo when they talk.

Yet another reason why I love being a city mom.
