Madeline's verbal skills are really taking off. She's saying some fairly complicated words correctly, like flower and vacuum. However, she's kind of a show-off and often throws the big words into conversations where they don't apply. For instance, she'll be naming everything in the dining room. It begins with wall, fan, phone, floor and then she sees outside of the window and says outside, trees and flower, which are within view. Then when you least expect it, she says VACUUM, as if she just happened to notice it outside next to the tree on the grass.
She also says awesome and Hi Furry, which are crowd pleasers over at Nana's. Sasa was notorious for his good manners, and she has followed in her big brother's footsteps with mastering please, thank you and sorry. My favorite of his was when he was about her age now and he would say excuse me with such clarity and sincerity.
Maddy's finally starting to pronounce gall as ball after how many months? But it is often due to trickery that she slips up and says it. She seems to be losing the gall/ball game. I'd almost like to throw this game if it meant keeping her as our little for a bit longer.
I'm pathetic.
I love you.
