More First Sentences

On Thursday Tess spent the morning with a babysitter that she hadn't seen in two weeks. When I picked her up, the sitter remarked, "She's speaking so much more than even two weeks ago! There are whole sentences. We're having conversations now."

I agree. Something has changed recently. Here's a few of the things I'm hearing right now.

"I want this!"

"I want a doggy."

"Dada ss seeping."

"Mama's rice, hot. Dada's rice, hot."

"Dada dinner done. Na dinner, done. Shaun the sheep!" (I had told her she could watch an episode with Lenny (Na) after dinner. Initially she finished her dinner and then told me it was time for Shaun, so I told her she had to wait until Dada and Na were finished, which she did with pretty good patience.)

"Mama read it."

"Mama sit. I daw." (draw)

"Alright!"
