I Made a Circle!

Miss E was enjoying her supper tonight (ham, sweet potatoes and green beans) but she was about done with what she was going to eat so she was getting a little bit silly. She was kind of "stirring her food" around the plate and I was about to ask her to please be neat and not spill her food off the plate when she exclaims "Look mommy, I made a circle!" I look down and sure enough she had spun her food around the outside of the plate and it was indeed it was a circle. How can you get upset at that? Then she proceeds to mix a little more and says, "I made an oval." OK that one was a little bit of a stretch of the imagination. I happened to have the camera on the table so of course I took a picture of her first real circles.

Cheesy Face

I made a circle!

She is really becoming quite the chatterbox. I need to keep track of some of the things she says. She had a 7 word totally grammatically correct sentence the other night when we were out walking (subject, verb, object, indirect object and I think some prepositions thrown in there). I was stunned but for the life of me can't remember what she said now or even by the time we got home.

Some of her funny phrases lately:

• Good idea mommy! (after I have suggested we/she do something)


• I chilly mommy! (used to be "I cold")


• It very dark outside, I go night night now (mommy's loving this one and using it as an opportunity to move bedtime up a little bit).


• Where's the luna (moon in spanish)? Today I told her it was raining and cloudy and she responded "the luna is behind the clouds."


• My favorite "I lub you mommy!"

She is also into emotions. "I scared" "I sad" "I happy". Tonight when we were doing bedtime, she was trying to stall a bit after I told her no more stories (we are doing longer stories now so fewer overall books). She told me "mommy, I sad" and pouts her lips. I kiss her and she gets all giggly. She did this several times and then I said "mommy's sad" and she gave me bunches of kisses. It was very sweet.

Thankfully, she has started sleeping much better lately which is WONDERFUL for mommy. Not sure if it is the change in her babysitting routine or not. She is having a lot of fun playing with her friend Gabby every day and today they started doing their pre-school lessons. Evvy brought home her picture and put it up on the fridge with her magnets. They are learning about "calves" this week.

Hopefully I will get some more blogging done this week with the rainy weather.
