Apparently I tell Charlotte quite often that she looks grown up. It seems I do it most when brushing or otherwise referring to her hair. The other night I had showered and was laying in bed with damp hair, which Charlotte finds fascinating. as she was stroking my hair, she looked at me very earnestly and said "Mama. So grown up."

We do a lot of counting things in English and Spanish, and more recently, letter-sounding and naming. We see a word like "Kite" and I will say "kuh-ih-tuh-eh" the "k-i-t-e, kite." Almost any time she sees a word she'll shout "letters!" (This makes car rides interesting.) And sometimes if she's interested in hearing what the letters say or are, she'll tell me "Count 'em. 'Panish."

Today at work, she climbed on to the big couch, wrapped herself in a throw blanket, and said, "Doing some snuggle-upping!"
*
Also at work today, she brought me a small toy truck (about softball-sized) that looks like a small version of our friends' non-working Power Wheels car that she loves to "drive." She told me "In it. Ma' help you." I looked and nothing was in it, so I asked her to tell me again, to make sure I heard right. She repeated "In it. Ma' help you." I asked her what she wanted me to help her put in it. Her almost immediate response was "Tushie."
When I told her it was too small and she was too big to sit in the truck, she took it from my hands, set it on the floor, and attempted to fit her foot inside. :)
