Choo-Choo, Daddy!
This morning we dropped Daddy off at the metro stop. As we were driving away you kept repeating something, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Finally I realized you were saying "choo-choo, Daddy!" You knew that Daddy was riding a train to school!
Going to Preschool
We started having preschool this fall with some of our friends. You LOVED it and learned so quickly.

I was so impressed that Emily was able to snap a picture while all the glasses were up at once.

Paige's Kitchen
I found you a little kitchen at a thrift store out here. You love to open the doors and play with the dishes.

Kid's Festival
Today we went to a kid's festival at the mall with some of our friends. We weren't there for very long, but we did get your caricature drawn. You were pretty impatient with waiting in line and sitting on my lap to get drawn, but you did like being with your friends.
Vocab Explosion!

Your vocabulary has been EXPLODING lately. It's so much fun to hear you say words and to be able to communicate with you more. You can now say so many words and you understand so many more.
I've been trying to write down words you've said that I understand. You don't saying them super clearly, but I can sometimes figure out the word you're trying to say. I'm sure I've missed some, but here's the list:
ball, bear, binky, birdy, black, blanket, block, blue, boat, book, bracelet, broccoli, bug, bunny, bus, butterfly, bye, cat, church, circle, clock, cracker, daddy, diaper, doggie, down, duck, ear, escalator, eyes, fish, frog, garments, giraffe, ham, hi, hippo, milk, mommy, monkey, neck, no, oops, owl, Paige, peach, pillow, potty, princess, purse, push, rice, see you, shapes, shark, shoe, square, star, strawberry, stuck, sun, thank you, towel, train, truck, umbrella, up, yeah.
You can make the sounds for a lot of things (when we ask "What does ___ say?"), including:
train, car, dog, cat, bunny, sheep, monkey, cow, duck, pig, snake, lion, tiger, leopard, bird, shark, bear, cat, frog.
You know two of your letters: M and F. When you see those letters you point to them and say "em!" or "eff!"
You use a few signs still, but mostly just for please and thank you.
You've also started using small sentences! I've heard you say:
Daddy, up!
(Daddy was sitting on the couch and you wanted him to come play in your room)
Where did Dad go?
(Daddy had a few weeks of vacation and when he had to start going back to school you were pretty sad. You kept asking for him and wondering where he was.)
We also have little conversations now, such as:
(after you bump your head)
Mommy: Did you bump your head?
Paige: Yeah
Mommy: Did it hurt?
Paige: Yeah
Mommy: Should I kiss it?
Paige: Yeah
Mommy: *kisses head* Is that better?
Paige: Yeah! *runs off*
It doesn't sound like much, but interacting like this with you is so much fun!

Preschool
This fall we've started doing a preschool co-op two days a week with some of our friends. The moms take turns teaching. You absolutely love it. Here is a picture of our first day:
You learned about the letter F that day so you all had you Favorite Furry Friends. I thought you might be a little too young to preschool (most of your friends are at least 6 months older than you), but you do GREAT. You're really good at focusing, staying on your mat/chair, and participating. Plus you seem to be picking up the lessons really well. The day you learned the letter F you kept pointing out Fs to me. You would find the F in your letter set, bring it to me and say "eff!"
