She speaks!

Funny little C moments, as her vocabulary has greatly exploded this past month (her favorite and most common words used to be "No" and "Me"; we've welcomed the change!!) This girl has no problem speaking her mind now!! Just a little sample...

_____

Mama: (Reading to C from "There's a Wocket in my Pocket")
"Do you ever get the feeling there's a geiling on the ceiling...
or a zamp in the lamp...
or a ghair beneath the chair?"

C: No.
Mama: No?
C: Nope!

After very uncharacteristically wetting a diaper that we'd just put on her before bedtime, I looked at her with a puzzled face and said, "C, why'd you wet the diaper I just put on?"

C: I dunno.

For naptime I lay down with both Chiara and Caedmon to nurse them to sleep. Almost everyday now, Chiara likes to snuggle up next to me and 'stake out' her side. Then she'll look at me and say,
"Das my side, and..... das baby's side... otay, Mama?"

M was reading something to C and told her she had to be quiet and listen. With the most hilariously serious and exasperated grown-up sounding sigh, C looked at her and exclaimed, "Not a-den!"

And let's just say, anytime she feels she has been wronged by her big sister ("Dah-duh") or her big brother ("Bye"), she comes and tells me great detail what has happened....

"Mama!! Bye's mean! Bye hit me! Here!"
or
"Mama!! Dah-duh's no sare me (i.e. Maia's not sharing with me)!"

(They can't get away with anything now!!!)
