My girl is a lot of fun. She says some pretty funny things too. We have been talking a lot about making new friends, and things it is friendly to do, like sharing. Yesterday we were having some dinner. She says to me, "I have some your rice." I gave her a bite after she had added please to her request. Then she said, "That's sharing, very friendly." Well, .......sort of, but I guess she's getting the concept.
We have also been exploring some new television show options. She's really gotten into Barney, and recently to Clifford. She LOVES Clifford. She gets really excited when we turn Clifford on. Logan asked how excited she was getting, whether it was teen girl---boy band excited. I think so, she shrieks and jumps up and down and shakes her fists. She is very excited. She also likes to pretend Clifford. She tells me she is Emily Elizabeth (Clifford's owner), and that she is playing with her big red dog Clifford in the back yard. Then she runs around the island in the kitchen telling Clifford to stop jumping on things. Apparently Clifford is very energetic, and she doesn't necessarily approve. It is pretty funny. Yesterday she was playing ball with her daddy and I. She would get the ball, pull back for a release, and say, "Catch big guy!" It took me a couple minutes to realize where this phrase came from. On Clifford, there are other dogs whom Clifford plays with. One is a poodle named Cleo. She calls Clifford 'big guy'. So, Elise was pretending Daddy was Clifford and Elise was 'Celo' (she has a hard time with two consonants in a row), and they were playing catch. It was pretty funny that daddy was 'big guy'....at least until today, when she started calling me 'big guy'.....hmmm not quite the same funniness happening there. Anyways, it has been cute to see her horizons expand. We still love Sesame Street, but heartily agree they need to start showing some new episodes, instead of the same 20, recycled every couple months. So, if you get the chance, check out Clifford. He is really helping us learn some fun things lately.
