Surprisingly Armanie can sit through this
book several times at a bathroom break.
This evening she learned about money.
Dialogue:
A: I want Money
M: How does the boy in the story get money?
A: He eats the apples. Mommy you have money?
M: Mommy has money.
A: Holy Moley
M: Armanie, Are you a girl or a boy?
A: I'm a a a (pause) a girl, Mom.
M: Do you want a brother or a sister?
A: I want a boy sister.
M: Laughing.
Trying to get Armanie to stay in her bed and not get out, Locke asks her,
Armanie do you want to sleep in the big girl bed or the crib (pack and play)
A: I want to sleep in the crib. The baby sleep in that bed (pointing to her toddler bed.
Sure enough once in the pack and play she fell asleep.
Only after she had some toast!
30 minutes after Locke put her down she starts to
say, Mom, mommy, Mom, mommy (in a progressively louder voice) I hungry.
I go in and give her some water. She drinks quite a bit.
A: Mommy I'm hungry.
M: What would you like to eat?
A: An apple.
M:We don't have any more apples.
A: We have apple juice....
M: Yes we have apple juice but you can drink some tomorrow.
A:I want toast.
I gave her toast, because usually when she says she's hungry
she really is and will go to bed right after she eats. And she did.
Just a little sample but I wish I could have a tape recorder present all the times she says
things that are so witty. She's not even two.six yet, but she is grasping
concepts so quickly!
I'm amazed and further excited to teach her so much.
We talked about the rain today and she's starting to say WHY. Which I love because it's not the
annoying why mom, answer given then the why mom comes again. It seems like she actually internalizes this stuff and say things based on what I said.
Like I said Armanie we need to pick up these toys because the rain is coming soon.
Why rain mom?
I'm taking this as a moment to tell her how rain forms
She says oh, rain gets my toys wet.
One more thing I heard her say today.
Locke asks her how her day was, and she replies, "It was WONDERFUL, Dad!
Wonderful was said in an exuberant voice.
Gute Nacht my sweet daughter.
(Armanie's favorite evening salutation. Locke are you teaching her German or are the neighbors?)
I love the dialogue. She is so smart, and hilarious... though that was inevitable based on who her parents are.
ReplyDeleteAh.. I miss that girl!
ReplyDeleteIt seriously is amazing how much they absorb, and really cool when they start talking enough for you to really hear some of what they are absorbing (some of it you wish they didn't :)- at least in my case that is).
So sweet! I can totally imagine Armanie declaring, "It was WONDERFUL, Dad!"
ReplyDeletethe golden age of childhood. huh?! I love that girl even though she is miles away. What a doll
