Cute :-)
I liked it! A haiku is supposed to be about nature. This one would qualify as a senryu which has the same syllable requirements a haiku has, but is about human nature.

My daughter who started
My daughter who started talking when she was 8 or 9 months old said her mommy liked foffee, her friend had a wheeawheea (VW), she liked spusghetti and she loved her aminals. (she argued it was aminals until she finally couldn't argue with her kindergarten teacher). My son didn't start talking till he was almost 3 and then it was dissertations of q's an a's. He'd been saving up.
Thanks Mand, Barry and I were just talking about this last night. I love these memories so very much.
Hugs,
Anna

Polka berries - bet you smiled every time he said that! Ha ha
As adults we often correct children when they pronounce something wrong - but I think it's worth leaving it for a while, cos they soon grown out of it and then it's gone. ( If that makes sense )
Thanks Stan, nice to see yah
Love to you and Susan.

You are so right
If someone hasn't already - someone should write a book or long poem about it. It would be brilliant and what a good idea to capture the moment, put it to a poem and add it to a baby album!!
Thank you for coming by to read and comment.
Love and hugs
