I would like to be able to speak with my two year old daughter. Not just the mostly one-sides limited conversations that we have now, but I want to be able to talk to her about the intricacies of her world.

I want her to tell me all about her likes and dislikes, her fears, the things that bring her joy. I would love to listen to her as she explores and learns about the world around her.

One day we will have deep, meaningful conversations and I look forward to that day. But right now, I am content with her one or two word responses.
