RANDOM QUESTIONS ASKED BY JULIA:
1. (while on the toilet; note that I was actually standing at the back door since I had been outside with the girls when Julia suddenly needed to run in and poop): Mom! Mom! When I'm four and a half, will I still go to preschool?
2. (holding out her hand to me while I was trying to cook dinner) Mom? Which finger do you think is the PRETTIEST?
3. (in the middle of dinner): Mommy? After Cinderella got married to the prince, did she keep her hair curled into a bun forever?
Urgent inquiries, all.
MADELEINE PLAYS THE "WHAT'S THIS" GAME:
Last night during dinner, Julia and I realized how many words Madeleine actually knows when we started holding up various objects for her to label. Here's a synopsis of her various vocab words:
OBJECT------------------- MADELEINE SAYS
Brita container---------Wa-wa!
Julia's plastic cup------Cup!
Spoon------------------------A spoon!
Fork--------------------------A spoon!
Bowl--------------------------Cup!
Chair-------------------------Chay!

Various books----------Buck!
Tortilla chips------------Ship!
TV remote----------------Tee-ee!
Telephone----------------Phone!
Diaper----------------------Elmo? (he is on the diaper, after all.)
Blueberry-----------------Booey!
We also played the "Can you say..." game with Madeleine. She was able to say a lot of different words we didn't even know she could pronounce, plus get a lot of family member's names pretty close on:
