Come on, Kate

I cut up a red pepper to eat with dinner, and I'm sitting there eating it, and Rowan starts saying a word I didn't recognize over and over while looking at me.  Then I realize she is saying "pepper."  I had no idea she knew that word.

Rowan's Starting to Recognize Patterns

If you say "one," she will say "two, three."  If you count to four, she will say "five." 

Counting

If you say "one," Rowan will say, "two, three."  Now I just need to teach her how to say "one"...

New Words for the Day

Things Rowan learned to say today: "neat" as in cool, unprompted and she actually used it three times correctly; "I love you," but only after I said it and asked her to say it.

Opposites

Rowan sometimes mixes up her opposites, like saying down when she means up.  But my favorite example of this is when she's upset, she will say/scream "yay" because she's not sure what word to use.  It's amusing to hear a crying Rowan say "yaaaaaaaaaaaay" when she doesn't want to nap.
