Miriam Says...

Miriam is saying so many cute and funny things lately as she has become more and more of a parrot. Last night Eric was "flying" her and got the camera to take a picture. Then I tried to do a video with what she was saying which sort of worked. Then she told daddy "moare" but also was insisting that I take a picture. Eric burst out laughing so hard yet couldn't breathe because Miriam on his chest.She has also been saying intently, "Oh I see". At dinner tonight we were all perusing magazines and I was looking at a birthday express one. I showed Eric one that we thought his nephew Daniel would like with tractors. Miriam grabbed it, looked at it and said "Oh tute (cute)". Also lately she hasn't been saying f's so we get tood, and tork,etc. My mom has been pleased that she is finally saying grandma though sometimes it comes out dandma or grand mommy. She is also saying all the time "Tank you, welcome" both when there is reason to say it and sometimes just because. She is getting more and more fun to be around though also very bossy too.

I'm Sorry

We've been working with Miriam on the polite words of please, thank you- which she has always been pretty good at saying, and I'm sorry. Lately she will say thank you and immediately after say welcome. Slowly she is getting when to say each of those words. She says "peas" for interesting things and it is awfully hard to resist her. As one can imagine the sorrys mostly go to Aaron after time outs. Though this morning she was playing with a toy lamb and had a interesting conversation. She had put the lamb in the window sill and he fell out. Miriam picked him and looked very serious and tender at him and said, "lamby hurt". I told her to kiss him better which she did and said, "I sorry lamby". Maybe she is learning some consequences and not to hurt others.
