New Train



We are so thankful for the "new" train set that Micah and Mackenna got this week. They LOVE it. He loves pushing the "choo choo" and she is fascinated by building the track. Yay! April, Thanks so much!

More Words they can say...

Just so I don't forget

Both kids now say "night-night." (nigh-nigh) Micah looked at me after I put his jammies on last night and had started to sing to him and he reached for his bed and said "night night" (I think he really meant - buzz off mom.)

I think both kids can say "mine" - although Micah says it more. Mackenna prefers to just take a chomp out of him to communicate mine.

Micah clearly knows the difference between the following things and can say words for them fairly consistently - car, bus, truck, tractor, airplane (two good syllables), helicopter (no word for this one - but sometimes it sounds diff than airplane), train (choo choo), boat (sometimes). I think she knows quite a bit about vehicles too, but she could kind of care less. Micah is obsessed with those things. He can find a car in any picture (it makes me think of Campbell finding a picture of a ball on the preview of the sports page on the front page of the newspaper). He finds little pictures of cars in books that have nothing to do with cars. His favorite is when a truck is full of cars...this really makes him happy.

One day after nap - Micah pointed to the TV that was off and said "uh-oh...choo choo" He's been a little into the new show Chuggington lately.

"Sentences" I have heard them say - "no, mine" "i want juice" "i want this" (what cute little sinners they are)

I love my dear daughter dearly, but she has been a little too fixated on crying and clinging to have fun exploring new things right now. I know the pendulum will swing soon and their personalities will switch again - they always do.
