sierciaWidget's been getting more and more entertaining lately. Her imagination is going wild, and her conversation skills are helping her to express it.
One of her new favorite "pretends" is that she's feeding the ants on our driveway. She puts rocks down, stirs them with a stick and leaves them there for the ants. If you ask her what she's feeding them, you geta litany of her current favorite foods, such as "green beans, yellow green beans, scallops, rice and lima beans". She's also started playing farmer. I havn't played this one with her yet, but she knows about feeding her animals, and about digging up carrots.
The other day, she climbed on top of her sandbox, held her hands in the air and started yelling "I'm queeeeeen of the world!" Apparently, Imagy taught her that one.
We've been trying to convince her that she shouldn't scream or yell too loudly in the house, but that she can yell all she wants at the playground. Now she runs around the playground yelling "AAAAHHHHHHH" at the top of her lungs, practically non-stop.
She's getting a lot better on her tricycle. She's figured out pedalling, but doesn't yet have the strength to pedal uphill. SHe's still a little fuzzy on how to steer.
She's learned the power of "I love...", and she's started saying it all the time. She says it to people - "I love you, Mama", about people - "Hannah loves Dada", and stuff - "I love my wagon. I love noodles". It's charming.
The other day I got her up from her nap. We'd been talking about how she could maybe go to the playground after she got up before she went to sleep. She announced, as clear as could be "I *decided* to go to the playground, Mama." She's done it a few times since then as well. Just plain and simple "I *decided* to do X Y or Z", complete with the emphasis on decided. It cracks me up.
