Can’t keep up
Like the title says, I can’t keep up with her no more. She learns two to five new words a day she does the most ridiculous things and is just going from one thing to the other within minutes. We watched martial arts movie today and she got into the fight scene. I wonder if she’d like Star Wars?
Today she said naughty and rice. Ok they’re not perfect, it was more naugh-hee and ice but she did try really hard to copy me. It was so cute when she dropped her food and of course Kato came after it seconds later. Emma screamed and came running to me saying naugh-hee while pointing to Kato.
Emma still signs too. For words she knows the signs for she would say the word and also sign it. Which I think is nice because sometimes she can’t say the words quite right. Like cookie she’d go coke-ee really quick. If you don’t know her, you’d think she was just making quaking noises.
She’s also getting to be very good at following commands, agreeing or disagreeing with me, and time outs. She would help me throw trash away, get my handbag, get her bag, grab her shoes and mine but that doesn’t always turn out right cause none would match, and alot of other things. If I asked if she likes a certain food she would nod and if she doesn’t she would spit it out, make a funny face, and then shake her head. She would give the right answer if people ask her questions that it’s making us curious whether she really understood or just got lucky. Time outs… well… not sure if it’s affective. She use to be upset when I do time outs but now she just sits there with a cute look on her face and she’d wait patiently for me to say time out’s over. It’s hard for me to not smile cause she just looks so darn cute sitting there looking all pathetic. When it’s all done, I would ask Emma if she’s sorry. She’d nod very seriously. Then I’d tell her to give me a hug and she’d get up and give me the nicest little hug with a little pat-pat on the back. Then we’d be friends again till the next time she’s naughty. I mean she doesn’t do the behavior again… well at least not till some days later or so but she just didn’t seem to mind the time outs. Oh well.
we’re having a great time together. Wish dada’s here.
