Last night, during dinner, Tim called Edzèa a “wacko” as she was goofing around. She looked at him and said “wacko” right back. We all laughed so hard that she did it a few more times for effect.
So here’s a brief update of new things I can remember that she says now. I’m way behind on the list and every day she says more.
She has dolls that she dresses up and yesterday came to me and said “naked”. She repeats this a lot as she gets laughs from this one too. We tell her that when it is bath time she is “naked” so “naked” is also a new favourite word.
- Turkey
- Pumpkin
- Downstairs
- Upstairs
- Jacket on
- Hat on
- Boots on
- Lots of “ing” words-she’s added these to her list of most verbs ie. eating, walking, running,
- playing, sleeping
- Phrases like: Mommy put hat on
- Zaya potty too
- She adds “too” to lots of phrases
- Zaya too
- Couch
- Table
- Rice
- Grapes
- Clothes
- Off/on
- In/Out
- Counting: up to Ten (she repeats after you but can’t do five or seven very well)
- Wake up-like this week she wanted Bruce to wake up each morning
- Drums
- Kiss
- Sorry (she can’t say “s” at the beginning of words yet though)
- What’s That?
- See ya
- Fork
- Tea Party
- Go Home (Zaya go home)
- House
- Names of all of her friends almost perfectly: Haydon, Natalie, Mackenzie (Menzie) , Dylan (Din), Georgia

The big jump in the past two weeks has been her ability and attempts to sing the songs she knows with us: Frere Jacques, Twinkle, Twinkle, Bumblebee, Happy and You know it, Itsy Bitsy Spider and a variety of other ones.
Every day she says something new and connects words into phrases, unfortunately I can’t remember many off the top of my head right now.
We are probably at about 200+ words now not including phrases/songs etc.
