Toddleresse

It is amazing how one day Little E was not saying anything, to having conversations. Here are a few examples of the new found language:


While holding her phone:

E: Ta-e......doin'?......goood......goo-bye. Pause. Broos....doin'?.....goood.....goo-bye. Pause. Mee'm.....doin'?......goooood.....goo-bye.
(That would be Talley, Brooks, and Miriam)

**She also has conversations with Mimi, Pop, and Nonnie. When she is "talking" to them there is lots of laughter. You guys are funny people!

___

E: circle oval

Translation: scoot over (either her horse or to move the highchair by the table)

__

E: E doot it.

Translation: I can do it all by my self.

__

E: Hiyo Daddy

Translation: Hello Daddy

__

E: Helpa Daddy

Translation: Help Daddy.

__

E: Sophie, o-bey Mommy Daddy. Ti out.

Translation: Sophie, obey Mommy and Daddy or you will go to time out. (Not sure where she has heard that one...oh, right...me!)

__

E: Hoeshoe Mommy

Translation: Hold you Mommy

Other tid bits...

1. We know most of our ABCs and the song.

2. We LOVE Zaccheaus, because he was a wee little man.

3. She loves the Hokey Hokey (Hokey Pokey)

4. Doing the Hokey Hokey we learned she knows her left and right.

5. Her favorite movie right now is Cars, followed by Tarzan (we FF through the scary stuff).

Those are the big ones I can think of right now. And it is hard to think of what stands out when I am with her all the time. Those who see us frequently feel free to expand. I know the family would love more details!

When I kept her on Wed morning, she was counting to 10 and helping all the other children play ball. She even wanted to know why all the other kids started crying and tried to console them. She sang Jesus loves the Little Children all by herself. She is definitely the sweetest.
