Does your child growl?

I have two growlers. And I'm not talking about those big jugs of beer that you get for a screaming deal at local brewers. Although I think we have a about five of those sitting empty on the back porch. Both girls started out growling before talking. Today, one talks so much we cannot get a word in edge-wise, and the other just growls. She has a total of five or six words, but prefers growling as a form of communicating. Especially when she is being naughty. I think our dog has been a big influence in their language development.

Our dog has more influence than she believes!
