talking

Camille is learning so much from big sister Av. Some of the sentence (yes I said sentences, she is now talking in full sentences) could be something that came from Av’s mouth and not Camille’s. It’s amazing. Av is always so proud when she finishes her food (we had such eating issues with her for so long it was a big deal) so she always shows me her empty plate. I act so surprised and pretend not to know where the food went. She says, “it’s all in my belly!” as she rubs her belly. Camille has taken to saying the same thing. Today she told me all her bagel was in her belly when most of it was still in her mouth. Last night John was asking her who the Sesame Street characters were in her book and when they came to one she didn’t know she said, “not know is.” Meaning I don’t know who that is. It made us both stop to laugh. Camille has never said anything like that and really with a word or two added that could have come straight from Av’s mouth. For the longest time Av said, “I not know.” We finally have broken her of that and she says, “I don’t know” now. Looks like we will be working on that with Camille too. Also, if you ask Camille, “did you play with Emily today?” She will answer with, “I played with Emily today.” She does that with most questions that could be answered with a yes or no. Kind of neat. I guess they are teaching her that way at school.
