What Does a Polar Bear Say?

Hey Sage!

You are 16 months old and you know all your animal sounds. "What does a chicken say?" gets the requisite "Bok, bok" answer and "What does an elephant say?" gets a very cute little "Bwwwwaaaa!" But the best is the answer to "What does a polar bear say?"

Your answer? Night-night. It's pretty darn cute.

You have this book with 6 baby animals and what sounds they say. You do each one emphatically as someone goes through the book with you. You are particularly excited by the parrot, screaming "SQUAWK! SQUAWK!" at the top of your lungs and flinging your arms around. The very last baby animal in the book is the polar bear. Instead of roaring, he finishes up the book with "Night night." So now, you are completely convinced a polar bear says that very thing.

No matter where you are when the list of animals is given to you - you answer everything correctly and answer the cutest little "Night night" for whoever has asked you "What does a polar bear say?"

Your mom says it's too cute to correct, and I agree. You'll forget it soon enough. So I'm posting it up here for you to remember always - when you thought polar bears walked around on the ice yelling NIGHT NIGHT! to the world.

Love you,

Auntie K
