One thing I'm sad about is how I have not recorded Vera's language development in much detail. I felt like once she really got started, there was no way to keep up. So, now that I have a blog again, I will try to periodically post about what she's talking about. Here a few recent stories:
Jim Valley is a singer/performer that seemingly came straight out of the 70s. For some reason he comes to our school every year. He sings songs with hand motions, and all the kids follow along. We took Vera to his concert last Wednesday after school, and she acted fairly indifferent to the whole thing while we were there. She sang a little bit, danced a bit, and then decided she would rather jump from the risers. That's when we left. Little did we know he (Jim Valley) had made such an impact. All weekend, she kept repeating "I want to go to Jim 'Balley'. I want Jim 'Balley' more!"
Our girl is a bit of a drama queen. Occasionally she will place the back of her hand to her forehead and proclaim, "I'm so sick!" Last night, however, as a ruse to get out of bed, she crept out of bed to tell us oh-so-sadly,"I not feeling well." When I told her to go get back in bed, she threw her head back and wailed about not "feeling well." Poor baby. When did she get so mature? She's only 2 and a half!
Tonight: "I'm a monkey!" (coming out of the bedroom wearing her monkey pjs)
Recently, when I tell her she can't do something yet: "When I'm big, I will...(ride a motorcycle, go to soccer practice, chew gum, wear hair like Ava's...).
This one I love: "Mommy, snuggle!" (after waking up, but not ready to get out of bed yet)
When she sees an airplane: "I'm going to 'Messico" and see sand and see water." :) She's dreaming about summer already, like her parents!
