New words

Rosemary is really starting to pick up quite a few new words, notably: hot (generally in reference to tea, or food she doesn't like), toes, foot, knee, tea, turtle, monkey, bat (I showed it to her once in a book and she remembered), up and "wee" (a swing, because you go "wee" when you're on it). A few abstract ones she can say but doesn't quite get, "purple" and "green," and even that "two" is after "one," or "uno." She also knows the sign for "gentle" and "help" which she likes to use quite a lot. Her favorite new word is "baby!" (and she points to herself)

Dance Jam and A Whale of a Time





Summer is here, and Rosemary is taking the opportunity to display a few of her many incredible sundresses, swim in her whale pool (another "swimmer" painting, mom?), and practice her commands. Funny that she likes it so much, because she hates baths (she is the one child who seems to hate baths and, I'm sorry to say, regularly gets her revenge by using the bathtub as a toilet). She must have got hot after all that crazy dancing...
