Today's top favorite was between my 2 year old daughter, Lucy and my 11 year old sister, Cali. Scene is the backseat of my mom's car while on our way to lunch. Cali is playing on her ipod touch and my mom and I are talking in the front seat.
Lucy: "Are you sad, Cali? Don't be sad Cali."
Cali: "I'm not sad, Lucy."
Lucy: "Cali, why are you crying?"
Cali: "I'm not crying Lucy and I'm not sad."
Lucy *short pause and in a very serious tone*: "Cali... Are you poopy?"
Cali: "NO! I'm not poopy!"
Me & My mom doing our best to hold back our laughter: "Lucy, Cali is a big girl. She goes poopy in the toilet."
Lucy: "Ok."
I've had a rough past couple of days and this was such a highlight to my day. I love these toddler moments. Feel free to share some of your favorites.
Oh and edited to say... Lucy turned two in July. :-) She's using more and more sentences daily and holding short mini conversations all the time. Some times you can't understand exactly what she is saying but for the most part you can always get the gist of it. I think by 3 she wont ever shut up. LOL!
Is this the norm or is it a little advanced? I'm just wondering since I tend to be around other kids who are a month or two younger and not talking as much as she is... Of course they are boys too so maybe its a girl thing. LOL! Since she was born we've never been big on baby talk and when she started saying her first words my partner and I have always given her a sentence. For instance if she said "MILK!" we would immediately say "Lucy, would you like some milk? You need to ask nicely for it and say 'Mommy I would like some milk please'" Then we would ask her to repeat the sentence as best she could... in the beginning it was just "Milk and please" Now she will say the full sentence. Anyways I just wonder if this is part of why she is able to communicate so well now.
Right now she is going through a phase where she asks "What's that?" or "What's this" to everything she doesn't know the word to or things she's unsure of. Then she repeats the word and moves on to another object or person. She's a sponge right now! I love it! The only time it sucks is when I slip up and she hears me say "F...!"... then I'm following her around saying "Mommy said FROG! FROG LUCY!" HAHAHAHA
