Well, it’s a veritable communication explosion from our dear girl. Here’s some recent talkie-talks:

Wah Happee? (what happened?)
Mo Qui-qua (more tickles)
A-B-C-D (she starts the song)
Suh-pidah (spider – the itsy-bitsy kind)
Bye-bye Daddy, Bye-bye Momma (when either of us are leaving, she tells us goodbye with no problem!)
Bi-Birr (Big Bird)
Elmo
I Luu (I love you)
Burderr (brother)

If you begin a song like ‘Amazing Grace’, ‘Redeemed’, ‘My God is So Big’ and others, she will finish the end of the line. So you sing ‘Amazing’ and she’ll say ‘Gace!” Max used to do this too – it’s so precious.

Without any direct teaching of this, Lucy walks around and cherishes her 2 baby dolls, Susie and Anna. She wraps them in a blankie, she gives them sips from a dollie bottle. Amazing!

But this is certainly a learned behavior – she’ll take one of our pool noodles (that double as swords) or a stick outside and run towards us and yell ‘AAAAAAAAAAAA!’ Then she’ll (quite gently) ‘stab’ us in the side. Can you tell she has an older brother? We’re trying to get her to NOT do this to the dogs. 🙂

Well, sure we’ve gone to the zoo and the like, but we did something really cool this time! Max and I (Lucy being cared for my sister Kelly) went to see a play in Thousand Oaks – “Watt is Electricity.” Now of course my five-year-old didn’t understand everything, but he was interested and entertained. It was a one man show of a ‘science guy’ who had big machines on stage that made various forms of electricity. We had a super time at the show, and getting our muffin and (my) coffee at the neat new shopping area next to the theatre complex. We ended our fun time with a trip by Daddy’s work and a quick bite to eat. I really am enjoying this homeschooley thing – praise God. 🙂
