"I love it, I love it!" I said when dad brought me home my very own potty last week. And a few days ago, just days into potty training mom asked me "do you know what that means?" after I went on the potty, and I said "I get m&m's!" Then I moved the footstool for mom to get them out of the cabinet. I occasionally sing on the potty and sang a few songs the other day for mom. She didn't seem to know what they meant, but I think my pitch is improving and am finding that the bathroom is a great place to practice.
I enjoy saying "Thank you sooooooo much" a lot lately. I don't know where I picked it up from, but the parents seem to respond well to it:) Mom doesn't, however, respond well to "mommy do it" all the time...or another one of my favorites lately "I neeeeeed it, I neeeeeeeeeed it!" But that's okay because if I'm stressed out from not getting what i neeeeeed, I'll just go for a slide down the slide backward. It's a great way to blow off steam.
Below I am holding grandma's hand at the water park at Bellevue Crossroads. I saw the bear try to catch a fish and offered some of my snacks to the elephants. As soon as I saw them, I said "elephant!" and made my best elephant noise while raising my arm like a trunk.
