Abigail has been saying so many new words and phrases it's hard to keep up. "What's up pussycat," a top favorite at the moment. She walks into our lobby and says it to our doormen, she'll say it to a store owner and she'll say it to us as a greeting in the morning when we slide open her door.
"Whoa boy," is another exclaimation she uses when something is difficult or really interesting. She learned that one from Grandma.
And you'd never forget to "Shake your booty!" if you spend any time with this dancing machine.
Maybe you'd like to have a "slice of pizza?" Abigail sure does.
And have we mentioned she's starting to use the potty?! We are so proud of her whether she makes it into the potty or just about makes it...she's trying really hard.
Also we've been delighted as she sings, "itsy bitsy spider...up....spout! Down, plop! Wash...the spider out." And then goes straight into: "Row, row, row...boat...dream." And, "head, shoulders, knees, toes, knees, eyes, mouth, head, shoulder!" Or, "wheels...bus!" She'll also say "Frank" when she's singing these songs, he's her music teacher at day care. She also sings, "where is pointer?" What's even more fantastic is that she's is so thoroughly delighted with herself as she sings these songs and does the hand gestures.
She'll ask us to "sing song?" which could mean singing Yellow Bus or Staying Alive. Or, if she's brushing her teeth it means, (to the tune The Farmer in the Dell), "I love to brush my teeth. I love to brush my teeth. Up and down and all around, I love to brush my teeth."
Oh and blue is the new yellow. Usually she'll answer the question, "what color is_____?" and whatever it is, it'll be blue. Then she'll say "silly goose" because she knows it's wrong.
She'll be two in just about a month and half--it's true what they say. Time does fly by.
