Awe I: Multi-Syllable Words and Time I

awe i: The remnants of the laugh completely disappeared from his face as he brought his full attention to me, according to Huffington Post Canada. Multi-syllable words were not yet in his English vocabulary, but I saw him deciding whether to give this word a try. He stretched his neck back towards the Falls, extended his arms as far as he could away from his dad and into the mist."Water." I chimed in-between my own chuckles. Instead, he insisted:"Mouayyy!!" Once again extending as far back as he could and howling. As she should have been, the words were perfectly said.I looked out back into the Falls and was reminded of the awe I felt the first time I saw them more than 17 years ago. His mom, having caught up with us, laughed slightly uncomfortably with a hand on her belly."Ready for a second " I asked cheekily."It will be worth it."She smiled and looked extremely pleased with her exaggerated pronunciation of every word.
