Say What?!

One of the things I love about having a 2-year-old is seeing her language develop almost daily.  She is especially good at mimicking and using my language, both verbal and non-verbal, in her own communication.  Let me just say that we have had some funny moments around here.

Scenario 1: We were reading one of Kate's favorite pop-up books "The Very Funny Frog" and she accidentally ripped the head off one of the pop-up paper worms.  She got a very serious look on her face, turned toward me and suggested: "Book.  Owie.  Tylenol!"

Scenario 2:  I asked Kate what she wanted for lunch.  She suggested "Berries, cheese and peas".  I looked into our barren fridge and didn't find any of those.  I told her that we didn't have those and suggested some other possibilities.  She shook her head and declared "Mama, Costco!"

Scenario 3: We often go for walks in the morning and enjoy walking down the street to visit Teton, our neighbor's golden retriever.  The other day we passed his house and he wasn't in the yard.  Kate said "No Teton.  Shoot!"

Oh what fun it is to ride, with a 2-year old learning to express herself.
