so. this morning, jude was wandering around our bedroom, as i was still lazing in the big bed. wondering if she was in the mood to be task-oriented, i asked, “where is pollita?” [note: pollita is a fuzzy weeble chicken given to j by my psychiatrist. she adores it.] pollita happened to be out of view, on the other side of the bed.
jude stood still a moment, and put her finger to her temple and tapped a few times. i taught her this. it is an imitation of pooh saying, “think, think, think…” and then she left her thoughtful spot, waddled around the room to the place where she’d left pollita the previous day, and picked up the weeble with a huge sense of accomplishment. she held pollita out to me and said proudly, “pota”.
baby = over.
hello child. kid. toddler with burgeoning language skillz.
Oh my goodness, even that picture shows how grown up your little Jude is becoming! Such a cute story too.
I have to admit something. I compare our little Theo to your Jude. She is almost exactly 1 month older. So it’s like a little preview of what’s to come in the next…umm…3 months. I am an educator, I get the difference between boys and girls, and developmental rates, etc. But hot-damn you have a smart active kid. She makes Theo look like a newborn. He will walk and talk and think all in his own time – I know that – but right now…he likes to make himself gag.
wow, you sure know how to make a mama proud.
that said, another one of j’s favorite things to do right now is eat fur she finds on the floor.
AND she also likes to pee on the bathmat just before she gets in the tub.
I read every single post… Tho I seldom comment. You have a beautiful baby girl and a lovely family, congratulations!
hi gr, i’ve added you
her picture says “of COURSE i know how to find things. i’m a big girl now!”
ohh my. i would like video evidence of the “think think think” please…not because i dont believe you ~ but because i must see the cute myself!
she is so beautiful and smart and awesome! you and h are lucky mamas! and jude is a lucky girl to have such a wonderful fambly
