Smart Sully

For ages (3 years) Sullivan Thurmond has reigned as our hairiest, smelliest, and smartest baby. With Ollie now taking the lead, its only fitting that I post a tribute to Sully. I've always been the night owl, working late on graduate school projects, paperwork, and now a part-time venture into the world of pediatric speech language pathology, as well as getting lost in Pinterest or amazing blogs that catch my eye. Sullivan has loyally laid by my feet through every late night, keeping me company, and my toes warm. He waits and waits, then trudges up the stairs behind me and escorts me to my room to make sure that I'm safe at night. He never fails. He is the most precious, gentle, protective friend. He is also extremely smart, and is able to read prosodic features! Please enjoy this example. Make sure your sound is turned up pretty high around 28-30 seconds for a funny surprise!!

laughing baby ollie!

this is my gift to you!
