I am drafting a post that is hard for me to write, and I am knitting that sweater which is actually full-on crazy, not some measly 75% kind of crazy. So this is mostly a placeholder post while I deal with my assorted crazinesses.
One of the cool things kids do between about 1.5 and 2.5 is they learn to make sentences. Most kids in that age range combine words in some way ("more cookies!" "no bed!"), but a core skill is figuring out how nouns and verbs fit together. It's a big step for them to realize that subjects can be paired with verbs, and that a subject and a verb can do something together to an object.
Stella's language development, like most of her brothers', has been on the pokey end of normal and it is making me doubly happy to hear her putting mini-sentences together. This morning she gave me her first subject-verb-object sentence ever. Unprompted, she said, "Stella sit potty!" And she did. Such a big girl she's getting to be.
I haven't posted a picture in forever. This is Pete playing the free version of Angry Birds on my iPod for an appreciative audience. Aren't they cute?
