The kids' vocabularies are growing! I took the time yesterday and today to write down some of our conversations.
Two days ago -
K: "Woo hoo! Drink Milk!" (she had finished her cereal and was ready to drink her milk... yes, out of the bowl!) Didn't know she knew woo-hoo.
K: "Mommy's a 'silly may' ".
Yesterday -
Morning, all 3 of us keeping Connor company on the potty.
K: "Connor's trying get you." (you meaning me)
K: "Mommy no get you-ing."
M: "Mommy's not getting you?" (trying to gently correct her grammar)
K: "Brother no getting you."
M: "I have to go write this down!"
K: "Come too? May I come too?" (She says "may I" about everything! even things she really doesn't need to ask about... we think she just likes to be talking all the time).
This morning, I am hearing this from another room -
K: "May I have?"
C: "No, I'm reading it."
K: (again) "May I have?"
C: "No, I'm reading it."
K: (after coming into the room where I am, asks me): "Connor's reading. May I have a book?"
M: "You may pick a different book or you may wait for a turn with Connor's book."
K: (leaving) "Wait a turn. Wait a turn."
3 minutes later, I'm changing Katie's diaper, Connor comes over and says -
C: "Here you go, Katie, I'm all done reading." (giving her the book).
K: "Help? Mommy." (the back of the book is bit broken, tricky to explain via blog post)
C: "May I help you, Katie?"
K: "yeah."
C: showing her how to work the book since it's broken "You have to use fine motor skills." (Jeremy had explained yesterday that the kids would need fine motor skills to make the book's noise now since it is broken.)
We are so thankful for God's grace in our lives. What a blessing to see the kids grow!
