rivkaAlex is doing so many new things every day! I want to note some of them down so I don't forget them.
New words: baby, clothes, outside, nose, eye, toes, knee (only applied when viewed through ripped jeans, for some reason), light, kids, read, rocket, Pa (replaces "Daddy" to refer to her Papa), stars, blocks, bread, cake (mostly applied to rice cakes, also appears when playing pat-a-cake), clues (refers to the TV show "Blue's Clues," which she now asks for by name. I am a bad mother.), hello, that, mail.
New book she asks for by name: Fox in Socks. ("Socks Socks!")
Four new tricks:
(1) Holding my cell phone up to her ear and saying "'Lo!"
(2) Holding a tissue or napkin up to her face and making a blowing noise, as if blowing her nose.
(3) Playing along with "Two Little Monkeys" by tapping her head and shaking a lecturing finger at more-or-less the appropriate moments.
(4) Waving and saying "Bye!" for endings: finishing books, walking away from a cage at the zoo, leaving her toothbrush behind in the bathroom, having her star light turned off at night.

Date: 2006-05-23 03:45 pm (UTC)You know, the Divine Miss L had a huge thing for 'Blues Clues'. I used to tape it for her and it was one of the few things I would let her watch at that age. It was way back in the day, when it was Steve hosting and Blue was an animation puppy, which I'm told has changed.
I liked the way Steve interacted with the viewers, and I loved the fact the show was based on the idea that the toddlers watching were smart and were helping poor confused Steve. It was a sad day at my house when the Divine Miss L informed me she was too big for Steve, because he was 'very silly'.
She never really grew out of loving Mr Rogers, which is good because I haven't either.
