Words

Lucia is learning more words every day, but she's still working on pronunciation, so it's like we have three languages in the house. Here's a quick glossary of her terms:


Mooz = peanut butter (we have no idea how)
Boos = spoon
Muish = music (duh, you didn't know that?)
Cookie Monster = MaMooz

She says many words loud and clear, so we don't know what's up with these. 

She's also learned at daycare this week to say emphatically NO. As in, Lucia would you like some milk? "NO!" Very firmly. She tried this yesterday on our walk; she didn't want to be held OR hold my hand, so she had a crying fit on the sidewalk. I told her over and over she had two choices, and it was up to her to decide. I read about this technique in a book and it really seems to work. I also wonder if the NO is just something she likes saying, without fully understanding what she means.

At any rate, her languages are developing. She says Please ("Peas!") Takk and Thank You, but seems to prefer Takk and also says my favorite "Takk You." She's learning colors and can sing some of the alphabet song.
