Sentences...

Paige is talking in super long sentences now, and can use words to talk about anything she wants to. Her talking is getting more and more intricate as she is using various expressions that she has heard other people use.

eg. "Oh my gosh! There's Amy coming to the library!"
eg. "No! Stop! I said No!"
eg. Mike told her that the ice cream truck was sleeping and she said "No! Stop! he's at the park I said!"

She will also expect praise for doing things nicely, and likes to remind us to praise her appropriately.

eg. #1: gives Amy a cracker, then looks at me and says "that's nice sharing", reminding me that I should say this to her.
eg. #2: After peeing on the potty she always says "good girl sweetheart! high five!" I then have to repeat.

She likes to praise/comfort us now with the same words.

eg. If I go to the bathroom when she is there she will say "Good girl!"
eg. I told her my tummy hurt after drinking too much water, "Oh sweetheart" (with sad expression)" then gives me a kiss.

OH, that is so cute. I loved the "good girl, sweetheart, Hi Five".. Pappa and I sure laughed. That is wonderful though that she has such a vocabulary. When we first moved to the U.S. they were always advertising on t.v. that "you should talk to your babies". DUH...I couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't talk to them, but apparently with teens having babies, they didn't realize that babies NEED to be talked to. You have done a great job. Love Gramama
