Coast to Coast

Some new words we’ve heard this week:

- water

- No–she is not really saying no to us, rather she’s imitating how she gets told no. Very funny because she uses the full body language.

- Ow. She actually uses this to get attention, pretending to be hurt! Not crying just saying Ow and rubbing her head.

- For a while now instead of saying “outside”, she says “jacket.” She really does like to go outside, wishes she could more than we allow, so runs around unhappily pointing at the door saying “jacket! jacket! jacket!”

She has been pinching over the last few weeks. Mainly Nathaniel. Of course we tell her it’s wrong to pinch, and after she pinches Nathaniel we say she should do something nice like pat his back instead. So sometimes she pinches him then right away soothes him! Yesterday Nathaniel was pouting about something minor and Sophia started rubbing his back. When Nathaniel is crying or complaining she joins in–quite empathetic.
