words and phrases
At 19 months old, we are exploding with words. Some things I have heard the girls say lately include:
"I like cookies" - Anya
"He is MY daddy" - not sure who said this, but it was in response to Jeff picking someone else up.
"Milk, NO waato" - Anya
"Happy Day" - this is part of the theme to Extras.
"Apple juice" - even though they have never had apple juice.
" bra" - everyone, often with a bra on their head
"tattoo" as well as a whole conversation that Rachel had with us that involved both tattoo and Elmo and turned into "Rachi Elmo tattoo".
"Mommy, Totoro, scary" - Rachel
"maa-maa, pop-pop, shiny, britty." as they cycle through the members of my family
And then there is all the talk of rats. Again, this is a story for another time.
Oh and Dora and her map and her friend Tico who only speaks Spanish and Swiper the fox who steals and when he gets caught says, "Oh man". This has led Rachi to say, "oh man" when she wants to watch Dora.
They are also obsessed with taking off their clothes and diapers and wanting to be potty trained. I can't believe that some moms would start this on their own! I am exhausted already without having to sit in the bathroom and watch and wait all day long. And the diapers off and on, off and on. Maybe it is such a pain because I have two, but man, let me keep the diapers for just another few months!

Hey I find Totoro scary too! :)

HA! I see my future in your current experiences! :) My boys (17 months now) just started saying "bra" last week. They are obsessed with it. They even want to look down my shirt and announce that I am wearing one.... Potty training. Oh boy, what a pain that is going to be! Noah patted his diaper two days ago and told me "Poop!". Then he went to the bathroom door. I asked him if he wanted to poop on the potty, and he was taking his pants and diaper down. Of course, nothing happened on the potty, but they both had to try. My arms hurt just from the few minutes I held them on it. I hate not to let them, though. Some people say that if you miss this window when they are actually interested in the potty that you may be sorry on the other end.... Anyway, times are crazy and fun, aren't they?!
