Be careful what you say

You know how people change the way they talk when there are little ones around?  That's because they repeat things so quickly, especially when they are trying new words out.  Yeah, Myla is no different there.  John threw out the word "gosh!" at their daddy-daughter day on Thursday and guess who repeated it?  Yep, and he hit himself on the head.  There are worse things she could say of course - and some things she does say sound worse than they are - but still, we are trying to be careful...

This week, Myla was fighting a pretty nasty cold.  So much so that I had to come home from work early to love and snuggle her.  Believe me, my heart was not broken for that!  Thankfully it was just a cold, she never really had a fever or anything, and she slept mostly okay.  She's definitely getting over it, and that we can tell by the way she runs us ragged at stores.  Myla loves to go places.  She woke up from her nap on Wednesday and said "go store mommy daddy" and nodded her head.  When I said maybe later, she said "go see mam-mam pop-pop."  She is a social butterfly and will talk to people at the store, as long as she's close to one of us.  I guess that's a good thing.

Myla has also become very helpful doing things around the house.  She takes her clothes to the laundry, helps feed the dog, and loves to set the table.  She's getting so tall to be able to even reach the top of the table!  We've also discovered that she knows how to read.  Ok, not really.  We borrowed some Curious George books from the library and have read them so many times she knows how they start.  Its fun to hear her say these sentences and know how some passages go.  She's a smart cookie.  Wonder where she got that from?
