vocab & other bigness.




Yesterday Sophia said:

"I have to get some more resources for my goldfish's room." and

"Look at the new technique I'm trying."

Yep, still 4 1/2.

And Eleanor went pee and poo on the potty. 3rd time for pee, 1st time for the poo. Oh happy day, I may not have 2 kids in diapers at the same time come August.... oh, can I dare hope?

She is now two, and officially fancy. Will publish some b-day pics when our camera cord returns from it's current journeys.

BUT WAIT... there's more (added Feb 25)

Yesterday Sophia got a paper cut, but after getting a band-aid for it, demonstrated by miming in the air how good it was that the injury would not effect her ability to work the remote to the DVD player. I was unable to hide my amusement.

And then... we were on our way home and we saw a flock of birds flying overhead, and she said,

"Every night, at sunset, all the birds gather at a restaurant to celebrate the day I was born." We were suitably impressed.

And, pray tell, what kind of resources was she thinking for her goldfish? And....it has a room?

joanna said...

well, the fish is a "Webkinz" and she has an online room that Sophia can decorate - it's pretty unbelievable.

Ahh thank you for clarifying. That makes way more sense now. You see before I was like "oh fine, big vocab, try using it in context"! hahaha okay no i wasn't but i was a little puzzled that a goldfish had a room.
