words words words

Rr has been having a verbal explosion lately to the extent that I haven't been able to keep up with jotting down her progress. We knew that things were about to take off a couple of months ago when she pointed at R, who had a towel wrapped around her hair, and said "ish is hat!" or, presumably, "this is hat."

My favorites thus far:

-- when we had to start using the air-conditioning: "Airplane!"

-- When asked if she liked a cookie:"I like it!"

-- Her favorite fruit: "wah-bee" (strawberry)

-- On hearing her mother's electric tooth brush starting: "Mommy teeth!"

I got home yesterday and got a couple of small pretzels to nibble since the kids had already eaten their dinner and we were about to throw them in the bath: Rr asked for a "petzel" and when I reflexively said what I say to L ("say please!"), so Rr said "petzel pease!"

Not bad for 18 months.
