Say "Woof!"

I'm still waiting for Magda to say "Mama" again (maybe it was a fluke?), but she seems to have mastered a new word - "Woof!" Magda doesn't just say it, she jerks her entire body when she woofs like a dog.

I'd noticed it before, but she really got into it on Wednesday at our first obedience class for Rose (yes, it appears we have a new family member - my earlier claims to the contrary notwithstanding). When "Fred", with whom the teacher demonstrated the concepts, started barking, Magda barked right back. She did it repeatedly and with verve and the instructor had more luck with getting Fred to stop barking than us with Magda.

Magda barks in the park when she sees a group of dogs, she does it when Homer and Rose bark around, and, according to Jennifer, she's done it when she sees a drawing of a dog in one of her books.
