\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On July 15 for a couple hours I wrote down most of what Ezri was saying.
\nHere is what that sounded like (approximately as some of her words aren’t standard pronunciation yet, but I could tell what she meant):
\nbottle
\nginger (referring to a neighborhood cat)
\nno
\nmore
\nuh-oh (grape goes onto the floor)
\ngrape
\nManchi
\nbagel
\nI-see-you
\nup
\nchoo-choo
\nnipple
\ndada
\nsoon
\npen
\nding-dong (the doorbell noise)
\nmama shower (said because I had wet hair)
\nglasses (said because I did not yet have my glasses on in the morning and an Amanda without glasses is not right)
\ntail
\nbedtime
\nhair
\nround round
\nfinger
\nclap-clap
\nfish
\nbye
\nshoes
\nbuckle
\ntowel
\nwet
\nwee-ooo wee-ooo (siren noise)
\nduck
\nquack
\ntickle
\nhat
\nfrog
\nkeys
\near
\nbaby
\nwash
\ncat
\npoop
\nmirror
\nmonkey
\nnose
\nMark
\ngrandma
\ntam-ma
\nbelly
\nfan
\nswing
\nEzri
\nHarvey<\/p>\n

The morning featured mostly unconnected single words. Mostly they are nouns. <\/p>\n

Then I did this again last month on September 25.
\nHere is what that sounded like (approximately):
\nBump head
\nEllie brush (Ezri wanted Eric to brush our cat Ellie)
\nEllie necklace (How Ezri describes Ellie’s collar)
\nEllie fur
\nEzri potty
\nPotty box (we recently acquired a potty though Ezri is still in diapers and she was playing with the box it came in)
\nSushi hair brush
\nSushi brush time
\nEzri hiccup
\na paw
\nLeave it down
\nMama porch (Ezri went out on the porch and this was her request that I join her)
\ncheers (cheerios)
\ngrapes
\nroll, roll, sugarbabies clap-clap-clap (a Favorite fingerplay from library storytime)
\nInga-inga
\ndada
\nDada back here
\nEzri cheers (eating cheerios)
\nEzri water (drinking from her sippy cup)
\nSilly Sally went to town (from the book Silly Sally<\/strong> by Audrey Wood)
\nEzri drink it
\nThis bottle
\nHippo yawn bug teeny boys girls in betweeny ( a favorite rhyme slightly garbled)
\nMOUSE! (When asked if she wanted to go to storytime)
\nDada mitten
\nApple
\nOwls Dancing (a favorite video clip)
\nEzri No Poop Just Fart (very informative)
\nCow Cookies (after a favorite book The Cow Loves Cookies<\/strong> by Karma Wilson)<\/p>\n

On this second day, she is saying some verbs and two word phrases which often lack the verb. She’s also doing a lot of quoting her favorite songs, books, and rhymes.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it takes some detective work to figure out what she is talking about. I am glad for example that her babysitter told me about asking Ezri when she was digging with a stick at the park if she was digging to China. Now Ezri will pick up a stick, tap the ground and say “Ezri China.” Without the background this statement makes little sense.<\/p>\n

Yesterday in the car she started saying “Tricky Daddy,” and “Argle Flargle.” Sure this sounds like nonsense, but I figured out “Argle Flargle” was the nonsense words the baby says in the book Knuffle Bunny<\/strong>. Then Eric said, “Oh, Tricky daddy is Trixie’s daddy!” as the baby’s name is Trixie in the book and it is the adventures of her and her daddy.<\/p>\n

Ezri knows what she’s talking about, but her parents don’t always.<\/p>\n

Yesterday for the first time she did all of the fingerplay “roll, roll sugarbabies” including the push and<\/strong> pull which she has always left out before. She also sang correctly most of the lyrics to Twinkle, Twinkle Time for Bed<\/strong> (A Rookie Toddler Book from Scholastic – all of this line of Rookie Toddler books seem to be perfectly pitched for where my toddler is now).<\/p>\n

It’s so great that Ezri can tell us things now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
