It’s so amazing to see Sydney’s vocabulary increase, as well as her ability to put words together to make sentences – so much change in the past couple of weeks.
One funny thing she has learned is when she comes to ask us for something. Before, it was something like this:
Sydney: Rella mommy, rella (Rella means Cinderella)
Mom: You want to watch Cinderella? (We usually clarify the question just in case we misunderstood)
Sydney: *nods her head*
Mom: No – no movies today, Sydney – but you can watch a movie when we go to Grandma’s tomorrow.
Sydney: *falls to the floor crying*
The other version of how it used to go is like this:
Sydney: Book mommy, book.
Mom: You want to read a book?
Sydney: *nods her head*
Mom: Okay! We can read a book
That was before 2 weeks ago. Here is how the conversation has evolved:
Sydney: Rella mommy, rella
Mom: You want to watch Cinderella?
Sydney: Okay! *runs over to the TV*
Aparently she figures if she answers the question for us, then it is “Okay!”
