at the petting zoo
Violet on the front stepsWe are never without excitement and surprise these days with the things coming out of Violet's mouth. She is so funny and knows it! She has really become so much more content since her language skills have blossomed (I shouldn't have said that should I!?). Don't get me wrong, there are lots of tantrums, mostly they can be ended with a distraction (tonight it was an LED flashlight and all was forgotten), but she generally is less frustrated by everything because she can tell us what she is thinking and more importantly - what she wants!
She has started to tell us things in story form, there are lots of words in her stories that are either made up or we don't understand but she is loving having the ability to tell us about things that happened in her day. It's really fun at the end of a day to come home and ask her about her day only to get a happy earful about dance class, swimming and reading books - usually with a lot of animated hand talking included!
