Talky, Talky!

I finally got around to replacing our laptop, so we'll be transferring files and I'll have my pictures back to start catching up, but I wanted to jot a few things down before I forget how many new things she's saying these days!

• When you ask Em a question she doesn't know, she'll think for a minute and say "I not know."  Of course, it's not correct...but that's my favorite thing she says right now :).
• She's getting great at using pronouns now!  She no longer refers to everyone by name all the time, and she refers to herself as me/I.  I'll ask her "who's is that?" and she'll say "me's!"  When I laugh at her, she'll correct herself and say "no Mommy, it's mine!"
• She's still talking about our vacation, and will tell people details about what she did or saw.  Her memory just amazes me, and she makes connections with things on her own all the time.  She knows exactly when we're almost home in the afternoons, and when we're close to school in the mornings by the places we pass on the road.
• We were driving one morning and she dropped her purple monkey (she sleeps with him at school, and sometimes he comes home with us too), so she asked me to get it for her.  I told her I'd get him when we got to school, but I couldn't reach him while I was driving.  She replied "Mommy, drive faster!"
• She's somehow learned superheroes--I guess because of all the boys in her class, but she'll occasionally mention Superman or Spiderman, and I asked her one day if she was Super-Emily, but she shook her head and said "no, I just Emily."  Now she'll say that if we ask her if she's beautiful, or silly, or almost any other adjective.
• She tripped and fell one morning walking to the car, and when I asked if she was okay, she said "Mommy, I tough!"
• Mick will sometimes say "I love you, little girl."  So Em has now started saying "I love you, big boy."  It's so funny :).
• She distinctly knows the difference in boys and girls (not necessarily the anatomical differences yet), but she knows who's a boy and who's a girl--in her class, in her cartoons, among her toys.

I know there are a hundred other things I should mention, but that's a quick snapshot.  She's so very entertaining all the time!
