Time to Say Nite Nite!

Everyday my volcabulary is expanding by leaps and bounds, okay maybe not leaps but definitely bounds. I am beginning to pick up on words that are said around me, much to the chagrin of my parents. I can say lots of words but my latest one is No. When my mommy tells me no, whatever I'm playing with is now called no. I love playing with the fireplace screen and hanging from the floor lamp that could so easily tip over. Because of the dangerous propensities that these two "toys" could cause, my mother and father say no, whereby I say back to them "no, no, no, no, no." I have taught them the more they say no, the more I do it with a smirk. Its fun!

Before bed we have a nightly ritual of climbing the stairs and brushing my teeth. When I put my tooth brush away I say "good job" to myself. After we change into my pajamas I know right where the dirty clothes go...in the hamper, and I assist by throwing my dirty diaper in the diaper pail. Then its on to books where I tell her all about the "trac-tor" in my farm book that G&G K got me for christmas. I go on to "uf, uf, uf" when I see dog, and scream "kit-da" when Kacie comes in to join us.

The other word that just melts my mommy's heart is "star." At night when snuggled up reading Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, I have begun to repeat and point to the star on each page. At the end of the book, we say nite nite, and then I launch myself into daddy's arms to get a hug and kiss from mommy before heading into bed.

To keep track of all the words I'm saying mommy made me a volcabulary board that has most of my words but is missing the best one yet: NO! You will probably have to click on the picture to see all it has to offer. Its so much fun learning new words and seeing my parents reactions when I master yet another one.

Recently mommy and daddy bought me this neat device that hangs on the front of the refrigerator. It allows me to stick letters into it and then it sings to me about what the letter sounds like. For instance, A says "ahhh", A says "ahhh", every letter makes a sound, A says "ahhh". It even sings me the ABC's, which I have attempted to join along. I'm addicted to learning the alphabet!
