Language

I realize that I haven't written much about Elizabeth in the last few months. And there has been so much going on.

Her language is really starting to take off now. And it is really quite a blast to witness. I suppose we are seeing what most parents see and get excited about at about two years of ago when kids typically start expanding their vocabulary.

She is getting regular speech therapy, both privately and two days a week at the public school. And on alternate days she is going to Montessori where the kids range in age from 3-5 in her classroom. Interestingly she has hooked up with (or I should say, is madly in love with) two of the older girls in her class, Moka and Emerson. Elizabeth has been known to wake up in the middle of the night and scream, "I love you Moka, I love you Emerson." The other night she woke me up at 3 a.m. to tell me, "Moka is big." That's nice, Elizabeth. Go back to sleep.

She does seem to be talking a lot and the jury is out as to whether she will will be a chatter box. There are times when she talks non-stop and then not so much.

But it is so wonderful to hear her talking. Most of the time I am just so darn happy to hear her talking that I don't really care what she says...although I do prefer it not be at 3 a.m., if possible.
