Experimenting With Two Words

Alex has been experimenting with stringing words together. Here are a few examples:

dishes done - our musical dishwasher is the inspiration for this phrase. She knows when it sings that, well, the dishes are done.

big truck - Today, we were surrounded by big trucks on the road. I commented on it, Alex repeated it all the way home.

bad cat - She's saying it again after a long hiatus of not saying it, but now she says it right.

big sigh - Daddy taught her this one. It is sometimes accompanied with a sigh before or after.

mac and cheese - Yes, three words. I know. It's the only meal she knows how to request. Good thing she actually likes it too. And no, it's not boxed mac and cheese, though she adores that more than home-made, of course.

silly baby - No idea why she says this all the time. But she says actually says "Silly bee.". Close enough, we know what she means.

goodbye Gerry - Yes, she has fallen in love with our realtor, and loves to tell him goodbye, usually hours after she's seen him.

teddy bear - Pretty self-explanatory. Sounds like "tay beah".

brown bear - Also self-explanatory if you know what a typical toddler's reading materials are.

That's the best I can come up with for now. As always, I'm never thoroughly convinced she actually knows what she's saying, but, like everything, she says a lot, and that's still very exciting for us.
