November Linguistic Headlines

"I'M SAW-WEE"
Chance said "I'm sorry" after a time-out! When we started time-outs (at around 14 mos. old), Grace took to them like a duck to water, even putting herself into time-outs when doing something she'd been told not to do. She also quickly learned to say "I'm sorry" to Chance (her usual victim) and give him a hug. Chance, on the other hand, seemed to think the discipline was disturbing, not even sitting in the time-out spot for a nano-moment . . . and when Daddy and Mommy once encouraged him to say "I'm sorry," he burst into tears, prompting Daddy to say Chance wasn't "developmentally ready" (that was about 4-5 wks ago). But about a week ago, he said "I'm saw-wee" to both Gracie and Mommy after a time-out. Precious!

(Pic: Chance chose this "reduced price" NASCAR book at Target--the cars, esp. the crashes, interest him but perhaps not as much as the one page that includes a pic of an airplane!)

"KEW ARE ESSS"
About 3 weeks ago, Gracie started singing the ABC song by herself. Last week, she even sang it on the phone to Grandma and Grandpa Boespflug. Hope to post a video of it soon (per Daddy's request). She also seems to be entering the world of "dress up," continually putting on shoes (esp. her pink crocs) and different pieces of clothing--how 'bout the outfit she chose in these photos with Daddy?
