Scenario 1: Lala's painting, and the paintbrush moves from her paper to her feet and legs.
Me: Oo, whatcha doing?
Lala: (startled) paint green leg
Lala proceeds to try and lift up her onesie: Lala paint belly
Me: No, let's not paint your belly today.
Lala keeps trying to lift her onesie up.
Me: Lala, mommy said not to paint your belly.
Lala pouts.
Me: are you sad?
Lala nods: "Yeah, Lala saaaad"
15 minutes pass and Lala's been pouting around the house. She goes to her chalkboard, and I hear her mutter:
"Lala saaad. Lala no paint belly. Lala saaad."
Scenario 2: Before sleeping, Lala brings her "Pigeon: things that go" book to bed with her. I can hear her:
"B-U-S... bus." page turns, "T-R-A-I-N.... choo-choo train" page turns, "A-I-R-P-L-o, um, A-N-E....airplane", page turns, "H-A-T-D-O-G-I...hot dog." She got a letter wrong, and the word hot dog had an exclamation point after it. She doesn't really know how to read, I'm pretty sure, she's just memorized the book.
Scenario 3: We're eating lunch together when all of a sudden Lala makes a loud noise. "AHHHHCHOOOOO! Bless you! hahahahahahahaha! Lala's funny." She says this as she scrunches up her eyes and nose and laughs.
I love this age.
